Orlando, FL – April 29, 2011 – Intelity, an Orlando based
hospitality
software solution company, is single handedly changing the way hotels
do
business and enhancing the overall experience for travelers with the

software. Through a groundbreaking virtual
concierge program executed through custom branded iPads, smartphones
and touch
screen applications, hotel guests have the control to maximize their
stay from
the palms of their hands. ICE not only provides a valued added
