London, March 30th, 2007 Quadriga and Luiten Van der Valk Beheer B.V, a
Van der Valk Hotels group, announce the signing of an exclusive framework
agreement to provide Genesis, Quadriga’s market leading entertainment and
internet services solution, to 7 hotels in the group, across Germany and the
Netherlands. This follows the adoption of Genesis by 3 other hotels in the group
in 2005, making a total of 10 hotels and over 1500 rooms providing guests with
the Genesis state-of-the-art in-room entertainment and internet services.
Out of the hotels in this new agreement, 4 were already customers of Quadriga
with previously installed analogue Pay TV solutions. Their decision to now
upgrade to a fully digital solution with the proven, industry standard Genesis from
Quadriga, reflects both their confidence in Quadriga as their partner and the
common desire of the industry to modernise the in-room entertainment service
and to offer the ultimate guest experience, with a wider and more flexible range
of service options and stylish and contemporary flat-screen TVs and screens.
For the Van der Valk Group, the other key driver for installing Genesis across all
10 of its hotels was to offer improved internet access. Guests will now benefit
from high speed internet access from a secure wired connection in every room
as well as Internet on TV (IOTV). Thanks to the Quadriga partnership with
SolutionInc, a leader in internet provisioning, management and billing, Genesis is
the only proven hotel entertainment solution to offer an integrated internet
communications capability.
In addition, guests can access a wide range of ‘on-demand’ entertainment,
including the latest blockbuster movies and popular music selections, available
for their enjoyment, at a time convenient to them. The hotels will also benefit
from both significant and proven revenue opportunities as well as real sales and
marketing opportunities, with the ability to integrate their web based content in
the Genesis main menu so they can promote their hotel services direct to the
guest in the comfort of their room.
According to Rick Polman, General Manager Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven,
“Quadriga proved to be a reliable partner in the past, and looking to upgrade our
hotel services, the Genesis system fitted our demands perfectly. Not only do we
provide our quests with a full range of services, our revenues are up significantly
in the installed hotels. The Genesis system almost sells itself, making the
investment a profit centre as well as sales tool…….”
Myron Tataryn, Quadriga’s Sales and Marketing Director, comments “We are
delighted that the Luiten Van der Valk Beheer group has decided to make that
all-important transition with Quadriga, from an analogue Pay TV solution to a fully
digital solution, enabling its hotels to deliver an outstanding guest experience and
offer a superb range of services, now and into the future….”
He continues, ‘With over 100,000 Genesis rooms installed across Europe and
the Middle East, we are confident that each hotel in the group will benefit from
the proven additional revenue opportunities and our continued and ongoing
investment in both product and support services. Quadriga’s unique Network
Operating Centre (NOC) will also provide the group with real-time proactive
monitoring of its services, delivering “best in class” service to each and every
property.’
