“Moving to the cloud has helped us optimize operations both on and above our properties. Oracle went above and beyond to help ensure the migration of all properties happened in a short time frame.”
Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud solutions have empowered Thon Hotels, one of Norway's largest hotel groups, to take upgrades more frequently, deploy functionality more quickly, and enable teams to focus on core revenue work while delivering top-class service and experiences.
Thon Hotels wanted to simplify operations across its multicountry portfolio and accelerate go-live without running parallel systems over a protracted phased implementation period, and its OPERA Cloud migration has since become a model for the hospitality industry. Employing a “big bang” approach, Thon Hotels migrated owned and franchised properties in groups of 10 every five minutes, and all 96 properties across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands went live on Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud Property Management within 31 hours.
With its cloud foundation in place, Thon Hotels could switch to Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud Distribution to manage rates, channels, and reservations in one place and use Oracle Hospitality Integration Platform to support future innovation. With OPERA Cloud Distribution, teams are more confident in the accuracy of reservation and payment information, no longer need to double-check every extranet, and can focus on core rate work.
