“By leveraging Curator’s thorough research, we rigorously vetted a Property Management System (PMS) aligned with our future technology vision. This strategic decision empowers us to standardize back-end business processes across our expansive portfolio, ensuring the seamless delivery of authentic guest experiences in highly sought-after travel destinations,” he said.
Marais describes Infor’s implementation strategy as ‘truly industry-leading’ and marked by an ‘unparalleled responsiveness’ to technical intricacies and end-user needs.
“Their interdisciplinary team collaborates seamlessly with our technical leaders from pre-installation to post-go-live, forging an ongoing partnership that extends beyond conventional Hotel Technology onboarding models.
“More importantly, Infor’s Project Management, Customer Success, and Technical Team are fully invested in the success of each property. This commitment ensures a continuous alignment with our evolving operational landscape, addressing any challenges that typically arise after installation.
“This strategy facilitated a smooth transition and enabled our operational teams to embrace and leverage the new system’s advanced capabilities, allowing our Team Members to refocus their energy on creating unforgettable experiences for our valued guests,” he said.
