The company has delivered more than 20 successful enterprise implementations in Travel and Hospitality segment across UK, USA and South America. One of their most exceptional successes can be found in their work with the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), a leading hotel brand. CIGNEX Datamatics developed a Liferay-based Meeting Point Portal for IHG’s worldwide sales team to sell meeting spaces across all leading IHG brands. The company’s work on the Franchise Brand Management Intranet yielded improvements across IHG’S operational efficiency, collaboration and user productivity. IHG experienced an increased user adoption by 100 percent in six months, which led to growth in revenues. The portal currently connects 250,000 IHG managed corporate users across regions and departments. “While building over 45 applications in conjunction with IHG’s Enterprise Collaboration Group, our approach was to create and leverage a portfolio of reusable modules for improved time to market, maintainability and support. The applications were developed using open standards, enabling seamless integration with existing IHG systems,” says Babaria. IHG benefited with enhancements in enterprise-level collaboration, user management, quality and timeliness of data, altogether generating faster ROI at reduced learning curve. In another interesting hospitality implementation, CIGNEX Datamatics successfully built a Liferay and Alfresco-based Integrated Content Management Portal (ICMP) for Grupo Posadas, a leading Mexican hotel operator which enabled Grupo Posadas to launch 7 web brand portals within six months at 40 percent TCO reduction, and most importantly, allowed them to increase RevPAR through personalized web experience. Going forward, CIGNEX Datamatics aims to strengthen its position as a strategic partner to Fortune 1000 clients by delivering business-focused enterprise Open Source Solutions. The company’s vertical growth vision lies in meeting every need of travel and hospitality industry to become a dominant player; while their horizontal visions focus on increasing the breadth of its solutions in OSS portfolio.
