Hoteliers, I’d like to share some experience with you informed by managing tech services end-to-end with budgets of up to $100M, incl. accountability for creating business value, design, procurement / development, implementation, and operations.
80% of tech projects fail due to:
a) Solving a well identified problem with the wrong tool set
b) Solving the wrong problem in the first place
To increase your odds of success, always start your tech procurement by analyzing your business challenges and their root causes. Never approach changes from the solution side.
A tool offering you technical solutions without knowing your business context, objectives and root causes of your constraints can only mean one thing: it’s authors don’t have your needs in mind; they just want to sell you stuff. They’re inviting you to a gamble with few lucky winners, most losers, and the platform profiting.
This is the approach I’d recommend (optimized for creating value for hotel owners & operators): https://lnkd.in/dA4QGEcF
