SHMS meets HEDNA in Munich, Germany
Attending HEDNA has been an experience, learning about critical insights that will shape the future of hotel management:
1. Technology Stack Complexity: The technology landscape for hotel management is expanding rapidly. For instance, Penta Hotels currently utilizes 74 different IT systems to manage its operations. An integrated approach to streamline processes and improve efficiency is on the way.
2. Rise of Payment and Commission Clearance Services: Innovative payment solutions are emerging, allowing for complex payment structures that are user-friendly and cost-effective, paving the way for more seamless and complex financial transactions in the hospitality industry.
3. Need for Further Education: While there's a growing recognition of the need for further education in our industry, the challenge lies in how to achieve this. Many professionals are trained on the job, but ongoing education requires dedication, effort, time, and money.
To expand on the third point, it's evident that our industry needs a comprehensive approach to education. Many of us in the hotel inventory distribution industry have learned on the job—often through a combination of trial, and error, and a few too many cups of coffee. But as the industry evolves, so must our skills. Ongoing education is crucial, but let's face it, who has the time, money, and energy to go back to school?
Maybe an all-inclusive "IT Hotel Management University" with courses that come with complimentary coffee? ??
How about building a future together where innovation and education go hand in hand?
A special thanks to:
