If you are a Hotel IT Executive, you need to sign up for Tech Service Today’s informative webinar covering the best practices for Hotel IT & Telecom Rollouts. Registration Link Here. Why? It will make your life easier.

As an IT Executive in a large hospitality group, you know IT/Telecom installation and upgrade rollout projects are inevitable. You constantly need to keep your hotels up to date, providing the best basic IT/Telecom services while being pro-actively aware of new demands and new technological advancements. This is critical to stay ahead of the game and stay competitive.

No matter how long you have worked in the industry, a huge IT or Telecom Rollout can be very daunting, so you want to have the BEST plan to ensure a smooth, cost-effective and efficient rollout. As the success rate for a large rollout is very small, you want to be as prepared as possible. What we mean by not successful: a rollout that ran into unforeseen problems throughout the implementation phase, was not finished on time, and had a much higher cost than planned.

Here are 7 best project management practices you should be using while preparing for your hotel rollouts:

1. PLAN IN ADVANCE: Be sure you are planning the full rollout in advance, not just the equipment installations or upgrades.
2. 3RD PARTY RELIABILITY & PROFESSIONALISM: If you are working with a 3rd party tech services company, you need to do your research and ensure they are reliable, trustworthy, professional and adhere to the standards & principles of your hotel environment.
3. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS & INSTALLATION DOCUMENTS: Are critical to provide.
4. SITE PREPAREDNESS: You need to ensure all the sites are fully informed and aware of the rollout details and what is expected of them.
5. PILOT SITES: Piloting is strongly recommended prior to scheduling the full rollout, giving you the ability to run into any unforeseen problems and adapt.
6. SCHEDULING THE FULL ROLLOUT:  Taking into account knowledge gained and materials created from the first 5 practices.
7. COMPLETED WORK DOCUMENTATION & CLOSE OUT:  After the project is done, it is important to document and review everything,  making sure lessons learned are notated.
