Intelity Announces Partnership with Swisscom Hospitality

Award-winning ICE technology will now be integrated with
Swisscom Hospitality in-room televisions worldwide


ORLANDO, FL and GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – June 26, 2012 – Intelity, an Orlando based hospitality software solution company, announced a partnership with Swisscom Hospitality Services, the provider of award-winning ConnectedHotel TV and a leading system integrator for hotels. The agreement calls for the full range of guest services offered through Intelity's ICE (Interactive Customer Experience™) enterprise platform to be available on in-room televisions equipped by Swisscom. The benefits of the relationship also include integration of the ICE Touch and ICE Mobile platforms with Swisscom’s ConnectedHotel TV and IPTV solutions, allowing guests to control the hotel television with their tablet or smartphone.

“Intelity is very excited about our collaboration with Swisscom Hospitality on a global level,” said Jake Buckstead, Intelity Senior Vice President of International Sales. “Our work with Swisscom Hospitality will broaden our reach on multiple continents and provide Swisscom Hospitality’s customers with guest service options that are fully integrated with all of their back of house systems (e.g., PMS, POS, Spa, Room Controls) for seamless order fulfillment, the highest guest service levels, and a modern guest experience. We look forward to developing more integrated products with Swisscom Hospitality in the future.”

ICE, which is currently the preferred guest services management platform in over 500 hotels worldwide, is already fully integrated and certified with more than 25 back of house hotel management systems.

ConnectedHotel TV is the first in-room entertainment system offering HD television, Video-on-Demand, Internet access and web-based guest services through a single TV screen, without a set-top box. Co-developed by Swisscom Hospitality and LG Electronics, ConnectedHotel TV recently won an hotelier award in Germany and runs in more than 60 first-class hotels across the EMEA region already. Swisscom Hospitality also provides IPTV solutions in conjunction with all leading TV manufacturers, with or without a set-top box.

“Swisscom Hospitality’s customers are some of the most prestigious hotels in the world, with a reputation for nothing short of the best in a guest service experience,” said Rick Sternitzke, Swisscom Hospitality VP Global Services and CTO. “The integration of Swisscom Hospitality’s leading ConnectedHotel TV and IPTV solution with Intelity ICE not only provides our customers with a highly differentiating  guest experience, but also opens up many revenue enhancement and cost savings opportunities.”

Both Intelity and Swisscom Hospitality are available at this year's HITEC to further discuss the partnership and their products at booths #2019 (Intelity) and #2449 (Swisscom).
