SuiteLinq to Demonstrate Innovative In-room Guest Experience Technologies
In the Microsoft Booth at HITEC 2007
EXTON, PA, June 13, 2007. SuiteLinq, Inc., provider of in-room broadband and on-demand solutions for hospitality and extended-stay environments, will be at HITEC 2007 in Orlando, FL this June demonstrating its eRoomsuiteTM in the Microsoft Booth #409. HITEC offers a unique combination of top-notch hospitality technology education, led by industry peers and experts, and an unparalleled trade show showcasing the latest products and services from over 300 companies.
SuiteLinq delivers a bundled set of services and hardware that includes desktop computers, HDTV's, broadband Internet, free and pay TV channels, and a variety of interactive guest services and content tailored to the needs and interests of hotel guests. These solutions are completely customized for each property, capable of utilizing guest data residing within the organization to provide a highly personalized guest experience and new revenue opportunities for the property owner.
In the Microsoft booth, SuiteLinq will feature an in-room guest portal offering a variety of interactive guest services, accessed through a high-definition digital flat screen integrated multi-media computer television.
Built on Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, SuiteLinq's demonstration will showcase advanced personalization capabilities that a hospitality organization can provide to its guests - including services based on a guest's preferences such as spa treatments, and a guest's ability to order those services via the in-room portal.
Offering these interactive and personalized guest services, and integrating new platforms with a property's legacy databases can be a challenge for hoteliers. Acting as an information hub, Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 enables such systems to communicate with each other through one centralized process, reducing overall system workload and improving data flow efficiency.
"SuiteLinq has long relied on the expertise of Microsoft's hospitality industry team," states Craig Ziegler, SuiteLinq's President. "Microsoft understands the complexities we face in providing such a dynamic, data-driven service that involves multiple platforms, users, and enterprise-wide applications. Microsoft software provides adaptability, scalability and most importantly, a high degree of familiarity that empowers administrators and end-users alike to get the job done accurately and quickly. There simply is no other company or solution set that would enable SuiteLinq to deliver the in-room experience that we do. We are proud and honored that Microsoft has asked us to demonstrate the success of our collaboration at HITEC 2007."
"We're pleased to have SuiteLinq in our HITEC booth showcasing how its solutions, using Microsoft software, can help hoteliers increase service and expand revenue opportunities," said Matthew Shigenobu Muta, industry director for Microsoft's Worldwide Hospitality Group. "Together, we can help hoteliers transform their guests' in-room experiences through compelling and personalized services."
SuiteLinq team members will be present at Microsoft's booth #409 during the three day event that runs from June 26 to June 28. Attendees can also visit booth #1055 to explore SuiteLinq's full range of services.
