P2V to work on Parliament contract

P2V Systems has been trusted with the design, installation and ongoing technical support of a secure server infrastructure.

They have also been briefed to install access control software at entrance points to validate visitor tickets.

Gateway’s ticketing and sales software streamlines the attraction’s sales processes including online sales, in-house telephone sales and walk-up sales of guided and audio tours.

Access control software will increase the efficiency of visitor entry, whilst the improved sales solutions will enhance the visitor journey.

Stephen McCann, Managing Director at P2V Systems, said, “We are delighted to have managed the design and implementation of the infrastructure needed for the Houses of Parliament’s visitor sales systems and access ticketing solutions.

“We have delivered a highly resilient and secure new ticketing solution infrastructure on the Houses of Parliament network and will provide ongoing support services, including application monitoring.

“Working on such a high profile London project is an exciting development for the company and follows a concerted effort to develop export sales.”

Stephen continued: “I set up the business in 2008, at the height of the recession, but I am proud to say that the business has been growing steadily for a number of years.

“The number of staff doubled to 10 within the last year and we expect the business to grow a further 40-50% within the next year.”

The Houses of Parliament has over 1,041,000 visitors each year, of which 260,000 pay to enter.

P2V Systems is an IT company which provides high level services in the analysis, design and deployment of physical and virtual network infrastructure, messaging and systems management applications.
