Executive Summary
The client is a leading international luxury hospitality chain, headquartered in Canada,
providing services to over 1 billion customers globally.
Business Challenge
The client, a large hospitality chain was using a traditional on-premises Delphi suite of products for managing its Sales & Catering functions (events and meetings). The set-up of fragmented applications at each hotel demanded higher maintenance costs, and, required enormous efforts for collating accurate business data points on time. As the hotel data lay in silos, it became immensely challenging to standardize business processes and get near real-time insights by integrating all data sources. As part of their digital transformation plan, they wanted to move the Delphi application from on-premises to the Delphi FDC cloud. The client wanted to partner with a vendor who has in-depth knowledge of Hospitality and experience in cloud transformation, specifically the integration between Opera PMS & Delphi, and, can deliver globally by working with a third-party vendor.
