NEC and IT Hospitality form Strategic Partnership for the Middle-East and Africa Theatre
Leading Global Communication Solution Provider and largest focused Hospitality System Integrator for the MEA region, join forces to drive Digital Transformation in the fastest growing Hotel market for the coming years
Hilversum, Casablanca, 21st July 2020 – NEC Enterprise Solutions, global leader in Communications & IT solutions, announced today that it has signed a partnership agreement with IT Hospitality, with the objective to provide new build and existing hotels in the Middle East and the African continent, with the leading NEC IT and Communication Solutions.
At the eve of the Virtual Africa Tomorrow Hospitality Conference, https://www.africa-tomorrow.com/, where IT Hospitality will participate as main sponsor and NEC as panel-speaker, both parties are excited about this partnership.
With the Middle East, and in particular Saudi Arabia, being the current ‘hot-spot’ of major Tourism investments and Africa ‘the last frontier’ for many International Operators, both NEC and IT Hospitality are looking forward to a bright future.
As Olivier Hennion, Managing Director of IT Hospitality, confirms: “As we grew our business by focusing on 3 elements – Hospitality, System Integration and Geographical strength in Middle East & Africa – we realized we lacked an important element in our solutions portfolio, being UC & Communications. With NEC we not only have found a strong partner with the right portfolio, but more importantly, with superior knowledge of the International Hospitality Industry and technical approvals from all the Hotel Brands “.
Kees van Donk, Senior Director Travel, Hospitality & Leisure at NEC Enterprise Solutions, acknowledges: “Based on the massive growth of the international brands in both the Middle East and Africa region – one could say that we are being pulled into the African continent -, we are in need of the right partner to grow the business with us.
As IT Hospitality has offices across the region (Casablanca, Cairo and Abidjan), understanding of the entire tech-stack of a hotel and a 24/7 support center covering the entire region, they are the optimal partner for NEC!”
Both organizations are looking forward to a successful and prosperous partnership.
