InTown Suites Monitors and Manages Corporate
Apps, Data and Networks with Citrix Cloud
In the highly competitive hospitality industry, keeping room
rates affordable and operating costs contained while delivering an
excellent customer experience is essential to being competitive.
InTown Suites, one of the largest economy, extended-stay hotel
chains in the U.S. with 25,000 rooms in 189 locations across 22
states, has delivered on this challenge by adopting Citrix Cloud, a
cloud-based workspace services management platform. Citrix is
assisting customers such as InTown Suites on their path to the
cloud by providing a smooth approach to adopting cloud services at
their pace. With Citrix Cloud, InTown Suites can easily deploy and
manage secure app and data delivery workloads on their choice of IT
infrastructure, from on-premises datacenters and private clouds to
public clouds. The result is an efficient and secure means of
operating the business, while providing a compelling guest
experience.

The use of Citrix Cloud as the new platform for the company’s
property management system, NiteVision, brought an impactful change
to InTown Suite’s IT management. NiteVision, is the application
used to automate the operations of the hotel and is the hub of a
property’s operations processing reservations, room availability
and rates. By virtualizing NiteVision with the Citrix Cloud XenApp
and XenDesktop Service, the IT team increased operational
efficiencies across the hotel chain. Through managing all aspects
of the guest check-in process on a single console, front desk staff
can now integrate a finger print scanner, credit card machine, and
ID scanner for guest driver’s licenses to simplify the process, and
ultimately provide a better first impression to guests. And behind
the scenes, IT was able to reduce the on-property hardware
footprint while managing all of their virtual applications from a
single cloud-based console.
By adopting the holistic approach that securely delivers and
manages all apps, data, devices and networks from a single
integrated platform, Citrix has made it possible to seamlessly move
workloads into the cloud, enabling the corporate office to support
the rapid growth of InTown Suites as it expands through new
construction and acquisitions. For a company that runs on
controlling costs and employs a small IT staff, using the cloud has
reduced costs while driving operational efficiency. A simple proof
point is that an increase in staff is not required even as the
company expands. During its 2016 process to renovate all
properties, InTown Suites began the switch to the cloud by
consolidating 190 servers located in individual hotels into one
corporate datacenter, so that each hotel only now needs one desktop
at the front desk and one thin client in the back office. And
having added over 50 locations over the past two years, a number
they hope to double as they continue to build and acquire into
2019, Citrix Cloud gives InTown Suites the flexibility to grow
quickly. For a company that wants to be the perfect choice for
anyone on a budget, adopting the cloud is fueling progress by
delivering on that brand promise every day.
