UIEvolution’s UIE ExperienceManager™ platform brings
dynamic branding and marketing management to DIRECTV’s
industry-leading hospitality solutions.
UIEvolution, a global leader in highly scalable connected device
software platforms for Enterprise companies in the Hotel, Cruise,
and Automotive industries, announced today a partnership with
DIRECTV, one of the world's leading providers of digital television
entertainment, to integrate the company’s technology platform, UIE
ExperienceManager™, with DIRECTV’s Residential Experience (DRE) and
COM2000 products in the launch of Guest Welcome Screen PRO. DIRECTV
is the national leader in entertainment solutions for hotels.
The inclusion of UIE ExperienceManager, the industry-leading
hospitality platform for in-room digital entertainment, services
and signage, to DIRECTV’s hospitality product offering gives
hoteliers control in driving ROI and guest retention though a rich
selection of features and business intelligence. The partnership
positions DIRECTV to redefine the next-generation needs of hotel
guests, providing the ability for hotel brands to deliver a
consistent user interface and guest experience on in-room TVs
across all of their properties, regardless of the DIRECTV Free to
Guest technology installed. The fully branded, dynamically updated
and engaging guest experience can be controlled at the brand and/or
property level to give hotels the utmost flexibility in marketing,
communication and interaction with their guests.
“DIRECTV has long been known for producing the best selection of
programming and technology for delivering and viewing high-quality
video on any device,” said Chris Ruff, CEO and president of
UIEvolution. “By incorporating our technology platform in the
DIRECTV network, together we can offer a highly differentiated and
personalized in-room entertainment viewing experience. We are
pleased to have been chosen by DIRECTV to provide this
comprehensive solution to the industry.”
To continue delivering on its promise to bring the best in-room
entertainment to hotels, DIRECTV has partnered with UIEvolution to
combine the power of the UIE ExperienceManager platform with
DIRECTV’s technology solutions and robust program offering to
enable hotel brands and properties to enhance and extend
personalized custom content to hotel guests.
“Guest Welcome Screen PRO gives a new level of sophistication to
a hotel’s marketing and guest communication capabilities,” said
Mike Wittrock, senior vice president of Sales for DIRECTV. “The
integration of UIEvolution’s technology platform with DIRECTV’s DRE
and COM2000 hospitality solutions gives hotels the ability to take
control of the most valuable marketing and communications tool in
the guest room – the TV – on a portfolio-wide scale, a capability
that until now, has never been available to the hospitality
market.”
