Harnessing technology for a competitive advantage
By
Neil Foster, Hospitality Technology Executive & HFTP Global Secretary | 13 Nov 17
The role of the hotel IT manager is evolving, writes Neil Foster. Today he or she is as an internal consultant and
educator who makes sense of the “noise”, a connector who seeks to understand the needs of the people and
processes involved. Central to the hotel operation in terms of influence, the new role is more business analyst
operating at the forefront, less technician working behind the scenes.
