Our focus
We live in a rapidly and ever changing world [and this is not just stating the obvious]. The impact of technology on business is increasing dramatically. New and old markets cohabit and business cycles grow shorter by the day. In a world where effectiveness and efficiency are paramount, where creativity and innovation are key drivers, sustaining strategic and tactical advantage be it processes, systems, technology or perhaps, most importantly, the value of the human factor has never been this crucial.

The industry
The hospitality world is no stranger to change. Technology apart, we are among the first affected by events of any nature, from political and social upheavals to environmental issues. In addition, competitiveness and competition have become omnipresent parameters, the latter emanating even from traditionally non-hospitality sectors. Who could have predicted that computers would allow consumers to bypass travel agents and hotel reservation systems?
