Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG), the membership
association that unites the world's hospitality companies and technology innovators to
solve industry challenges, released full video recordings of the first two sessions of its
Strategic Leadership Engagement Series (SLES). The SLES is a set of summits where
senior hotel IT executives from across the industry meet with leading-edge technology
providers to share perspectives on specific important technology issues facing hotels.
Each provider presents its own industry expertise and thoughts on the issues in 30
minutes, followed by a moderated discussion with all participants.
While the wide-ranging discussions are challenging to summarize, a common theme in
both was the need for open standards to facilitate data sharing and cooperative cloud
services, rather than proprietary interfaces.
Video recordings are now available at the links below:
-
Managing in the Hybrid Cloud - sponsored by
Professional Accounting Solutions, Inc., ResortSuite and SkyTouch Technology. This
session addressed the increasingly critical role of big data in the modern hotel
enterprise, with presentations and discussion covering how to use it, manage it and
protect it as well as industry initiatives needed to support these activities.
-
Big Data/Analytics - sponsored by Duetto Research
and Teradata. This session addressed the complexities for hotels managing multiple
systems, each of which is migrating from on-premise deployments into often-separate
cloud computing environments.
HTNG also recently announcing plans for the second and third sets of summits. Topics
and planned timing for the sessions include:
- Payment Systems (September 2014)
- Distribution Systems (September 2014)
- Infrastructure (January 2015)
- Guest Room Entertainment Systems (January 2015)
Technology companies who are interested in engaging in these discussions with
hospitality technology leaders should visit the Strategic Leadership Engagement Series page
