Matthew Smart

Over 20 years making hotels, IT providers and growing businesses run the way they should.

I help hotels, MSPs, HR teams and operations leaders choose and implement the right systems, then make sure they actually work the way the business runs. I bring that experience to clients through WiseInsight, Wise Telephony and Nidoni Hosting.

Experience

A career built from the operations floor up.

Every stage added something I still use: an operator's view of how work really gets done, and the technical depth to fix it properly.

Hotel management

Running front office, reservations and teams. Where I learned that systems only matter if people can use them on a busy morning.

Project management

Delivering IT, network and infrastructure projects into live, occupied buildings.

Systems and telephony

Implementing property management, HR and phone platforms, and designing enterprise networks.

Managed IT and security

Leading operations and the ISMS inside a managed ICT provider, and managing incidents through cyber attacks.

Founder

Building WiseInsight, Wise Telephony and Nidoni Hosting around everything above.

Expertise

Where I add the most value

Hotel operations

Front office, reservations and housekeeping, Cloudbeds implementation and administration, and fractional GM support for independent properties.

MSP operations

Service delivery, ConnectWise and Halo PSA configuration, reporting and account management for IT providers that have outgrown how they run.

Project delivery

IT, network and infrastructure projects in occupied commercial towers, hotels and student accommodation, coordinated with every other trade on site.

Information security

ISO 27001 implementation, ISMS coordination, audit preparation, and hands-on incident management during cyber attacks.

Networks and telephony

Enterprise networks, building systems cutovers and Microsoft Teams Phone over Direct Routing and SIP.

Reporting and integration

Power BI dashboards, KPI reporting and custom portals that get existing systems talking to each other.

My businesses

Three companies, each run hands-on

Australian-owned and operated. No offshore delivery and no subcontractors you've never met.
