AccorInvest and m3connect : taking hospitality to the cloud
Through its partnership with m3connect , AccorInvest has used the cloud to enhance the sustainability , efficiency and resilience of its hotel portfolio
AccorInvest , Accor and m3connect have partnered to launch a pioneering hospitality project , which gives AccorInvest ’ s global hotel portfolio unique access to industryleading technologies .
The achievements and future scope of the digital transformation project
Shaheen represents a complete cloud transition project , bringing with it an exceptional degree of digital transformation . Through the partnership , AccorInvest has been able to create more efficient , sustainable and resilient processes , which it is now working to deploy across its entire portfolio . In fact , the transition to the cloud has unlocked huge benefits for AccorInvest , including some invaluable sustainability improvements . Behind the scenes , hotels contain a lot of hardware . But , AccorInvest has optimised these operations by streamlining the required hardware down to the minimum .
“ Everything is wireless , which gives AccorInvest ’ s hotel teams the freedom to have one device for everything ,” Dragas added .
“ After we ’ ve finished this project , the hotel will have one cabinet . We will have saved up to 70-80 % of power consumption in the server room . Plus , you are able to have one standard everywhere , which makes support and maintenance easier as well .”
And , for the next phase of the project , AccorInvest and m3connect will keep working to deploy the new cloud system across the former ’ s whole portfolio .
“ Now that we ’ ve started , there ’ s no limitation ,” says Ahmed Disokey , Group VP Hotel Technology at AccorInvest . “ Right now , we ’ re creating a full ecosystem that not only focuses on the hotels , but also the back office , to be a corporation where everything interfaces with each other , in line with our ESG approach and initiatives . And that ’ s one of the key pillars for us ,” Disokey outlined .
“ We have a big journey up until 2025 , and we are looking to build a strong relationship with really committed partners . So far , we are really satisfied with what we are doing with the majority of our partners , and , indeed , with m3connect .”
