O'Neal Consultants has developed a system to constantly monitor problems associated with cost control, and the capture and posting of telephone department revenue. With the eSentri maintaining a watchful eye on the operation of the many interrelated systems that affect the successful collection of revenue, property personnel are assured of optimizing revenue and controlling costs.

The eSentri development is the outgrowth of 22 years of experience in manually monitoring and managing hotel telephone departments. Experience has shown that even if an on-site audit has just been performed, unknown changes may take place that can either cause an increase in expense, or a decrease in revenue capture within days after an audit is performed.

The eSentri is poised to detect any changes that take place after an on-site audit, and will maintain vigilance from that point on. Because of its low cost, it is the best option for a property to make sure the telephone department revenue and cost is stabilized.

The following items are a few of the events that are constantly monitored:

•   Malfunctioning trunks and T-1 channels connected to the PBX
. Too few, or too many trunks
. Calls routed over more expensive trunks
. Calls made from vacant rooms
. Calls generated by the PBX and not billed by the Call Accounting System
. Incorrect pricing by the Call Accounting System
. Priced calls sent from the CAS to the Property Management System that were not posted
. Priced calls that were sent from the CAS to the PMS that should not have been sent
. Calls with incorrect duration
. Long distance calls that are priced as local calls
. Local calls that are priced as long distance calls
. Calls made from property defined stations that exceed acceptable frequency, duration, or are made at unacceptable hours (productivity alert
. Produce a report showing the number of alarms received, the alarm conditions cleared, and status of open alarm issues
