Over the last couple of years, we have witnessed enormous growth in cloud adoption by hotels in India. Not only are bigger international hotel O brands that are expanding their footprints in India, leveraging the power of the cloud but domestic hotel brands - both groups and even standalone properties are taking the lead when digitising operations with the cloud.
Cloud-led digital transformation in hotels
As per our observation, two significant factors are worth considering when we examine the reasons behind the accelerated cloud adoption among Indian hotels. Firstly, hotels were and are under tremendous pressure to innovate and quickly adapt to their guests' changing needs amidst increasing competition.
Secondly, at the same time, hospitality technology providers have also made rapid advancements when it comes to offering matured, all-in-one comprehensive solutions while ensuring ease of implementation.
Like other organisations, hotels also aim to boost their business process agility and data-driven decision-making capabilities. In this context, for them, opting for a cloud-based hotel property management system along with several other cloud systems make absolute sense. Here are some critical benefits hotels have seen after migrating to the cloud.
• Significant cost savings with lower software ownership costs
• Faster go-live timeline
• Ability to access hotel data and execute operations on the go
