Synopsis

Buying hotel technology today is too hard, says protel’s Pete Simpson. The sales cycle today is a long, tortuous path for the average hotelier. Even when hoteliers know what technology they want to deploy in their hotels and already have a firm commitment from their management teams, it still takes many months to source, buy, deploy and finally have the software operational.
