Orchestrate unforgettable guest experiences for the AI age

Avaya Infinity connects guest interactions, hospitality data, AI, employees, systems, and workflows to help hotels, resorts, cruise lines, casinos, and hospitality organizations turn every guest interaction into coordinated action.

Infinite Loop Illustration

Guest experience has outgrown the traditional contact center

Guests view your organization as a single entity, expecting seamless support across reservations, check-ins, requests, and loyalty services. However, necessary data and personnel are often scattered across property management, central reservation, CRM, POS, guest apps, and contact center systems. Avaya Infinity provides a real-time orchestration layer that unifies guest interactions, hospitality data, AI, employees, and workflows. This delivers faster service, personalized guest journeys, enhanced employee effectiveness, and lasting guest loyalty.

Unified

Guest interactions, hospitality systems, data, employees, AI, and workflows operate in one orchestrated environment across the contact center, individual properties, and the broader hospitality enterprise.

Contextual

AI and workflows use relevant guest, reservation, loyalty, property, interaction, and service context, not isolated signals, to support inbound and outbound engagement.

Real-time

Understanding, decisions, and authorized actions can happen during the interaction, helping employees respond while the guest is still engaged and while the moment can still be improved.

Governed

AI, data, and workflows operate within organization-defined policies, permissions, security controls, and auditability.

Controlled

Maintain control over deployment, guest data, AI choices, infrastructure, and the pace of modernization.

Guest experience on their terms

Discover how to create seamless, personalized experiences across the guest journey by bringing together guest interactions, hospitality data, AI, employees, and workflows.

AI performance index

Measure AI by guest and business outcomes, not hype
 

AI Performance Index (APIx) helps hospitality organizations measure AI across outcomes, efficiency, cost, and automation so teams can track performance, identify improvements, and manage accountability over time.

AI-assisted workflow modernization

Accelerate workflow discovery and reconstruction

 

Use AI to analyze existing Avaya workflows for reservations, loyalty support, and guest-service routing, document business logic, generate reviewable Avaya Infinity workflows, and validate outputs. Avaya experts and your teams remain in control of testing, governance, and rollout.

Tandem care

Coordinate AI and hospitality professionals around every guest


Tandem care helps AI and employees work from shared context. AI can gather information, summarize guest history, surface guidance, translate conversations, and coordinate routine work while employees focus on moments requiring warmth, judgment, creativity, empathy, or the personal attention that defines exceptional hospitality.

Enterprise data activation

Give AI and employees real-time guest context
 

Avaya Infinity, built with Databricks, activates reservation, loyalty, property-service, and interaction data in real time through Delta Sharing. Give AI and guest-service teams authorized enterprise context for reservations, loyalty, and service recovery, rather than relying only on information inside the contact center. Data access depends on authorized integrations and the selected deployment.

Expanded orchestration

Turn guest intelligence into action during the interaction
 

Connect hospitality systems, guest data, AI, employees, and workflows in real time so teams can verify, route, reserve, schedule, notify, personalize, document, automate, and advance authorized guest requests while the guest is still engaged.

HOW AVAYA INFINITY WORKS

Capture the power of intelligent orchestration for hospitality

Avaya Infinity, with support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), connects guest data, hospitality systems, AI, employees, and workflows to deliver contextual, continuous experiences across the guest journey.

Openness as a competitive advantage

Open, enterprise-ready architecture

Use MCP and open integration to connect AI, hospitality systems, guest data, and workflows without depending exclusively on brittle point-to-point integrations or a single technology provider.

Enterprise control and governance

Maintain control over deployment, guest data, AI choices, access, governance, and auditability as hospitality experiences become more intelligent and connected.

Action in the moment

Help employees and AI guide decisions, automate authorized steps, and advance work across systems while the guest is still engaged, whether someone is changing a reservation, requesting an amenity, reporting a problem, arranging transportation, making a dining reservation, or asking about loyalty benefits.

Enterprise control, without the cloud-only tradeoff

Hospitality tech environments are complex, supporting thousands of locations, brands, systems, and customized setups built over years. Disruption to guest communications or operations can instantly degrade the guest experience.

MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL

The power of context for creating memorable guest experiences

Hospitality relies on context. Reservation, front desk, concierge, and service recovery teams need guest history, reported issues, and relationship value to deliver seamless service. AI agents also require controlled access to necessary systems and data. MCP offers an open connection model that enables AI to securely interact with enterprise tools and turn guest context into coordinated action.

AI-powered context unlocked by MCP delivers personalization at scale

Moments that make the connection

Avaya Infinity is built for the moments that define hospitality, when guest context, employee expertise, AI, and hospitality systems all need to work together.

icon

Do we already know this guest?

Bring together authorized reservation information, loyalty status, preferences, interaction history, service activity, and intent to create a more complete understanding before and during the interaction.

icon

Does the guest have to repeat what they already told us?

Carry appropriate context across web, mobile, messaging, IVR, virtual agents, agentic AI, contact center employees, and property teams so the guest journey can continue rather than restart at every handoff.

icon

Can we anticipate what the guest may need next?

Use reservation, journey, preference, loyalty, and service context to support timely communications, relevant recommendations, and appropriate next-best actions before the guest has to ask.

icon

Should AI handle this or should a hospitality professional?

Coordinate automation and human expertise based on context, complexity, sentiment, guest value, sensitivity, and the moments where warmth, creativity, judgment, or personal attention matters most.

icon

Can we fix the problem while it can still change the stay?

Orchestrate authorized systems, workflows, employees, and AI so service requests, escalations, notifications, scheduling, documentation, and recovery actions can happen while the guest is still at the property or actively engaged.

icon

Can we close the loop across the property?

Coordinate work across reservations, front desk, housekeeping, engineering, food and beverage, concierge, transportation, loyalty, and other teams so requests are assigned, completed, documented, and confirmed.

icon

Can we remember what matters the next time the guest returns?

Use authorized interaction, preference, loyalty, and service history to help future experiences reflect the relationship rather than treating each stay as if it were the first.

icon

Can our technology strategy evolve without disrupting the guest?

Support multiple AI models, open standards, partner technologies, and flexible deployment approaches so the organization can modernize while protecting the communications and property systems guests already depend on.

Frequently asked questions about Avaya Infinity for hospitality

How is Avaya Infinity different from traditional CCaaS for hospitality?

Traditional CCaaS platforms may require hospitality organizations to move complex guest operations into a standardized cloud architecture. Avaya Infinity takes a different approach by connecting interactions, AI, hospitality data, existing systems, employees, and workflows through a real-time orchestration layer. That gives hospitality organizations a way to modernize guest experience while building on existing property systems, Avaya infrastructure, integrations, applications, processes, and technology investments.

What enterprise CX leaders are really asking in AI platform demos

How does Avaya Infinity scale for large guest service contact centers?

Avaya Infinity is designed for complex contact centers with thousands of agents. Cloud, hybrid, and on-premises options combine with geo-redundancy, API gateway support, health monitoring, and hyperscaler infrastructure. Capacity and deployment design are tailored to the environment’s requirements rather than treated as a single fixed configuration.

For hospitality organizations, deployment planning can account for booking and holiday peaks, distributed teams, and existing service commitments.

Why does MCP matter for hospitality?

Model Context Protocol provides a standardized way for AI to connect with enterprise systems, data, and tools. For hospitality organizations, MCP can help AI work with appropriate context from property management, reservations, CRM, loyalty, service management, dining, knowledge, and other authorized systems instead of operating as a disconnected assistant. An open protocol also gives hospitality organizations greater flexibility to evolve AI technologies over time without rebuilding every workflow around one AI provider.

How does Avaya Infinity work with enterprise data platforms like Databricks?

Infinity uses the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and unified Lakehouse to create a scalable, secure, AI-ready data foundation. Key benefits include a unified Lakehouse for all structured and unstructured contact center data, offering a single source of truth with centralized governance and audit trails. Delta Sharing enables secure, zero-copy data sharing, eliminating silos and accelerating real-time AI initiatives. Pre-built assets democratize insights for business managers. The platform enables running reliable, trustworthy, and compliant enterprise AI at scale, with automated AI Judges providing full visibility into both human and AI agent performance.

What is tandem care?

AI can handle many of the tasks that take employee attention away from the guest. It can gather information, summarize history, translate conversations, search knowledge, identify relevant context, coordinate routine requests, and recommend next steps. That gives hospitality professionals more opportunity to focus on the human elements technology cannot replace, including warmth, empathy, creativity, judgment, and personal service. Avaya calls this coordinated model tandem care.

Why tandem care Is the new CX operating model

How can Avaya Infinity connect the guest journey from reservation to property?

Guest experience spans many systems and teams. Avaya Infinity can help connect interactions and authorized context across reservation centers, digital channels, loyalty programs, property employees, service teams, and other hospitality operations. Rather than forcing the guest to repeatedly explain the journey, Infinity can help carry relevant context forward and orchestrate the next appropriate action.

How does Avaya Infinity support proactive guest engagement?

Avaya Infinity brings inbound and outbound engagement into the same orchestration environment. Reservation and event context can help support timely communications around upcoming stays, confirmations, transportation, dining, property information, itinerary changes, service updates, loyalty opportunities, or other appropriate moments. Proactive engagement can answer questions before they become calls while creating additional opportunities to improve the stay and strengthen the relationship.

What deployment models are supported?

Cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments are all supported. This gives organizations the flexibility to modernize in stages and align with their existing infrastructure, security requirements, and regulatory needs.

Why should Avaya CC Elite hospitality customers consider Avaya Infinity?

Because modernization does not have to begin with replacement. CC Elite may already support millions of reservation, sales, loyalty, and guest-service interactions and may be deeply integrated with hospitality workflows. Avaya Infinity provides a path to build on that foundation by adding capabilities such as real-time AI, digital channels, connected guest data, workflow automation, and cross-system orchestration. That allows hospitality organizations to modernize the guest journeys that matter most while protecting the value of existing technology and operational investments.

How does Avaya Infinity support AI governance?

Avaya Infinity is designed to give organizations control over AI model selection, system access, enterprise data, workflows, permissions, and execution. Hospitality organizations can introduce AI into specific guest and employee workflows while maintaining controls appropriate to the information, action, and business process involved.

An open architecture also gives organizations greater flexibility to evolve AI models and technology partners as their strategy changes. With support from technologies such as Databricks, teams can monitor how AI uses information, track performance, and maintain data oversight as adoption grows.

Which CRM and collaboration environments can Avaya Infinity work with?

Avaya Infinity offers embedded agent experiences and integration options for Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, ServiceNow, Zendesk, and Microsoft Teams. Depending on the integration, agents can access call controls, screen pops, click-to-call, directories, and collaboration within familiar workspaces.

How does Avaya support global hospitality operations?

Large hospitality organizations may operate brands, properties, contact centers, and employees across multiple countries and time zones. Avaya provides enterprise communications and customer experience capabilities designed for complex distributed operations.

Capabilities such as intelligent routing, digital engagement, automation, multilingual AI assistance, centralized management, analytics, and resilient communications can help organizations deliver greater consistency while still supporting local operations.

What workforce engagement capabilities are available with Avaya Infinity?

Avaya works with Verint to provide workforce engagement capabilities and also supports integration with preferred WEM and WFM environments. Organizations can build on selected workforce tools already in use instead of treating their replacement as a prerequisite for CX modernization.

How is Avaya Infinity priced?

Avaya Infinity uses a flexible per-seat commercial model, with package, licensing, add-on, and services options based on the organization’s requirements. Named and Concurrent licensing, volume ranges, contract terms, and bring-your-own options provide additional flexibility.

How can Avaya Infinity help lower total cost of ownership?

Avaya Infinity can help organizations reduce unnecessary replacement and migration costs by building on existing technology investments. Enterprises can retain selected infrastructure, carrier agreements, messaging services, workforce engagement tools, and other systems while introducing new Avaya Infinity capabilities over time.

Can Avaya help hospitality organizations generate revenue as well as improve service?

Yes.

Guest experience and revenue are closely connected across reservations, upgrades, loyalty, dining, entertainment, amenities, and future stays. Avaya customer journey orchestration and proactive engagement capabilities can help organizations recognize relevant opportunities, deliver personalized recommendations, support outbound campaigns, and connect digital interactions with employees when a human conversation can help complete the journey.

How can Avaya support personalized loyalty experiences?

Loyalty becomes more meaningful when the organization recognizes the relationship during actual moments of service.

Avaya Infinity can use authorized loyalty, preference, reservation, and interaction context to help employees and AI deliver more relevant experiences, route high-value interactions appropriately, support personalized recommendations, and create continuity across visits and channels.
