Company insight Take TV systems for example – the new
Netflix-enabled solutions allow the guest to log in to their account as they do at home. However, this needs a connection between the system and the PMS to validate user identity. The TV system manufacturers |are not going to develop an interface for every different type of PMS – they rely on middleware providers to do this. Similarly, middleware can facilitate
the easy introduction of other new applications or changes to the existing line-up. The hotel can now react quickly to market trends and offer applicable, relevant solutions without having to wait many months for a new interface to be developed by the PMS provider.
Agility and flexibility Middleware brings agility and flexibility to the hotel’s set of applications being used, providing greater freedom of choice for solutions to be offered to their guests. Not only for applications used now, but additional ones required for the future, saving considerable amounts of money and effort.
A distributed middleware architecture. One final advantage for a distributed
middleware approach concerns hotel brands with multi-flag properties, something that is increasingly popular in today’s environment. Here, middleware enables each of the sub-hotels (which might well have their own PMS) to share the same central resources – such as telephone systems or Wi-Fi management systems, massively reducing the capital outlay and ongoing support costs. Middleware is the essential piece of
software for every hotel – the ‘oil in the machine’. Hoteliers should let the PMS do what it does best, but leave the connectivity to open, scalable software that brings savings and freedom of choice to every hotel – benefitting guests and hoteliers alike. ●
