For global hospitality leader IHG Hotels & Resorts, a legacy contact center meant mounting security risks and a block on innovation. With agents battling fraud and legacy carriers unable to support a modern cloud environment, IHG needed a major upgrade.

Join IHG, Sinch, and Genesys to learn how they successfully migrated IHG's global operations to a secure, cloud-native contact center. In this 25-minute session, discover how Sinch acted as the central communications partner, enabling IHG to:

• Integrate seamlessly with Genesys PureCloud CX in AWS, displacing legacy carriers.
• Combat fraud by integrating a voice security shield to protect customer data.
• Solve critical technical hurdles where other carriers failed, including custom SIP-REFER functionality.
• Expand beyond voice with messaging APIs for secure payments and surveys.
This session offers a blueprint for transforming legacy systems into an agile and secure customer experience engine.
