CNL is one of the nation´s largest privately held real estate investment and development companies with $13 billion in assets under management. Since its inception in 1973, the companies CNL has formed or acquired have more than $17 billion in assets, including hotel, retail, restaurant, seniors´ housing and lifestyle properties.

Over a year ago the executives at CNL made a decision to decentralize infrastructure, operations, and staff into the separate business units. Prior to that decision, a centralized IT organization provided shared services to various business units.

This lead to CNL seeking a new scalable, cost-effective solution that could manage the new IT requirements across multiple sites, as well as strengthen system security, perform routine tasks (like moves, add, changes) and be able to interoperate with existing systems. Download this case study to see how Avaya IP Support Services allowed CNL to make the change and improve their infrastructure performance.
