First time IBM relationship has been in a PR



the only other time it was mentioned was on the 1/22/09 conference call. It appears that IBM has changed the name from "Hotel-in-a-Box" to "Hotel of the Future"....

Here's the relevant passage from the CC transcript...


IBM has been working on a “Hotel-in-a-Box” initiative designed to allow limited-service brand owners to sign fewer technology vendor contracts and receive core technology services, including the property management, telecommunications, high-speed internet access, call accounting, voice messaging and door-lock systems that can be deployed, managed and supported by a single vendor – IBM.

In October, we were selected by IBM and signed a multinational supplier agreement under which we are a selected IP/HSIA gateway, network monitoring and call center provider for its Hotel-in-a-Box initiative and will work with IBM as it rolls out its single vendor support and management model. This is an important step to providing hoteliers with another layer of value-added service to their guest and we are proud to be part of IBM’s team, providing its core system for deployment.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
