Modernizing IT for independent hotels

Modernizing legacy networks is a priority for independent hotels and resorts, particularly as they work to increase occupancy and revenues. Independent hoteliers must strive to streamline operations, reduce costs, increase network security and enhance guest satisfaction. But trying to accomplish these goals with legacy systems, multiple providers, reduced staff and limited IT resources isn't easy.

While counterintuitive, IT modernization can help resolve these issues and even increase profitability. Properties no longer need separate equipment from separate providers for separate services. Instead a modern connectivity provider can offer reliable, secure and high-capacity connectivity, WiFi, and network management along with contemporary voice, TV and in-room entertainment solutions. This delivers a number of benefits including cost savings, convenience and a flexibility that's not possible when operating each of these services separately.

But to go from planning to execution, independent hoteliers must overcome the concerns that come with modernization.
