By GlobalDataEarlier, the hotel group was using an on-premises solution for its accounts in the Middle East.
In order to provide greater resilience, help standardise its systems, and improve overall efficiency, the group wanted to migrate to a SaaS model on the public cloud.
The SaaS solution provides flexibility for the accounts team members to work remotely during the ongoing pandemic.
Through Infor SunSystems, Accor can also streamline its budgeting and forecasting processes. This will enable hotel managers to improve their ability to plan ahead.
More than 50 hotels of Accor across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, and Oman are already covered by the SunSystems solution.
With more hotels in the process of migrating to the solution, the group expects to see about 200 hotels live on it by this year-end.
