"LodgeNet's Envision platform is rapidly becoming the industry
standard for a dynamic interactive television experience," said
LodgeNet Chairman and CEO Scott C.
Petersen today while speaking at the Sidoti & Company
Micro Cap Conference being held at the Grand Hyatt hotel in
New York. "Not only are more
hotels adopting our Envision system, hotel owners in more than a
third of these rooms are contracting for our Advanced
Envision "apps" to deliver a truly memorable guest experience in
their hotel, with monthly subscriptions totaling over $3 per room. Our growing portfolio of apps
continues our diversification efforts as we expand our high margin,
software as a service revenue. Our hotel partners appreciate
our ability to deliver and activate apps at their properties with
no incremental capital investment."
Envision presents guests with a suite of apps inviting them to
readily access hotel and local information, order room service or
check weather and review flight details. A wide range of HD
entertainment is also available, including the best
still-in-theater Hollywood movies
and much more. Envision powered hotels include marquee
properties under the Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, Joie de Vivre, Kimpton, Marriott and Starwood
brands.
"Envision provides a unique Internet-connected TV experience
that is driving consumer interactive usage by more than three fold
over our prior platform," continued Petersen. "It expands the
services we provide to travelers, creating new revenue streams and
providing hotels with a powerful tool to enhance their guest
communications and engagement."
