Company Recognized for Implementing New
Property Management System (PMS) Integration Solution that
Accelerates Innovation
The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), the United
States’ largest hospitality association dedicated to supporting and
advocating on behalf of the industry, has announced Agilysys, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AGYS), will receive its inaugural AHLA Technology
Acceleration Award as a company that took specific steps to further
advance innovation in hospitality. AHLA will recognize Agilysys
along with other award recipients at The Hospitality Show being
held at The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas June 27-29, 2023.
The AHLA Technology Acceleration Award is a new annual program
that will help drive hospitality industry advancement year after
year. Each year’s award will recognize a different technology
innovation along with companies that have adopted it. This year’s
award recognizes companies that have adopted HTNG Express, a
solution from AHLA’s technology committee HTNG that shortens from
months to days the process for post-booking hotel property
management system integrations.
To earn the AHLA Technology Acceleration Award, Agilysys
implemented HTNG Express and demonstrated for an evaluation
committee the technology’s use in Agilysys PMS, its
state-of-the-art cloud-native property management solution, while
also highlighting the time savings, economic value and
loyalty-building personalization users gain.
Today’s guests expect to be recognized and treated as
individuals, with 71% of consumers expecting personalized
interactions and 76% of them experiencing frustration when this
doesn’t occur. Today’s customers want even more —
hyper-personalization.
Hospitality providers must use big data to deliver these
hyper-personalized, guest-staff interactions at scale – data that
is too valuable to wait months to process and access. HTNG Express
simplifies the property management system (PMS) integration
process, enabling hotels and resorts to utilize data insights
related to guest reservations, rooms or profiles to personalize
their experience and access information post-booking.
“Because Agilysys is 100 percent focused on hospitality, we care
about advancing this industry as much as our customers do,” said
Frank Pitsikalis, Agilysys Vice President of Hotel Solutions.
“Being ‘all-in’ for hospitality puts us on the same team with
customers, technology partners and organizations such as AHLA and
its technology committee HTNG. This year’s awards focus on
improving interoperability among hospitality systems benefitting
guests, staff, operators, owners and management companies alike by
accelerating data sharing, smoothing workflows, improving insights
and making experiences more seamless and satisfying. Adopting HTNG
Express fully aligns with our mission to elevate Return on
Experience across all guest and staff touchpoints so customers can
achieve High Return Hospitality,” Pitsikalis added.
