The hospitality industry has long been focused on operating end-to-end businesses,
but the technology vendors that service the industry have been focused on product-centric
solutions that make use of a high number of software modules and operating silos.
To resolve this disconnect and more effectively align with the business operations
of our customers, we have evolved our approach to be focused on delivering integrated
"platform-centric” solutions for Lodging, Food & Beverage and
Payments applications through an investment in the development of a web services
oriented architecture enterprise platform. Our rGuest™ platform is aimed
at transitioning our product and services offerings to better address the needs
of hospitality operators as they focus on building better connections with guests,
pre-, during and post-visit. The rGuest platform facilitates an end-to-end solution
that helps our customers improve the guest experience, increase top-line performance
and reduce operating costs, which leads to opportunities for higher profitability.
Our next-generation of products and services are aimed at helping hospitality
operators recruit customers into their facilities, increase their wallet share
from each customer and improve the overall guest experience from the initial
customer touch point through post-visit interactions.
