At its virtual start of the year, the German Hotel Congress puts the digitalisation potential of hotel networks in the spotlight. m3connect and B&B Hotels are invited as experts to present their Future Network project. Emilio Dragas, CEO of m3connect, and Niklas Unger, Director of IT & Digital Business at B&B Hotels, will provide first-hand information. The “Digital Forum on the Status Quo Hotel Industry” will take place on 1 February.

In the Future Network project, m3connect has created the infrastructure for end-to-end digital hotel operations at B&B Hotels. The backbone is a fibre-optic-based gigabit network. A Software Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) makes the networking of B&B Hotels flexible, saves costs and contributes to fail-safety. A more than sufficient bandwidth is available to all applications. This not only provides for current hotel operations and all guest services, but also for all future digitalisation projects.

m3connect is a known name in the hospitality industry. In the joint Future Network project, the wireless internet service provider supports the management of B&B Hotels in their digital transformation. With more than 500 hotels in Europe, including almost 140 in Germany, the hotel chain is a pioneer in digitalisation in the hospitality industry.

At the forum of the German Hotel Congress, it will become clear that the Corona crisis has intensified the digitalisation push and that investments in powerful hotel networks represent a competitive advantage after the crisis.
