Roland Heinen, CSO m3connect

“A modern TV portal today is much more than just entertainment – it is a central component of the digital guest journey. When implemented correctly, it combines entertainment, communication, and service, creating a seamless, personalized guest experience while opening up new opportunities to strategically place offers and generate additional revenue.”

Challenges

Challenges & Reasons for the System Change

  • System Migration During Ongoing Hotel Operations

    Replacing 457 devices and implementing the new TV portal had to be carried out without interrupting hotel operations.

  • Integrating Various Systems into a Comprehensive Solution

    The TV portal, WiFi, Property Management System (PMS), and other hospitality services were consolidated into a single, networked platform for more efficient operations.

  • Expanding Digital Services to Enhance the Guest Experience

    Existing guest communication was to be expanded through digital services along the entire guest journey - from personalized greetings and digital guest directories to in-room information and on-screen billing - adding meaningful value at every touchpoint.
