Master Data Management for Hotels

We all know the impact of personalized service from our own experiences. Whether it's the owner of the restaurant on the corner who calls you by name or the barista who starts your "usual" when he sees you walk through the door, it feels good to be treated like a VIP. All too often, however, your airline fails to appreciate your loyalty, even when your status is listed on the boarding pass, or your hotel treats you like you've never been there before even though it's the fourth time you've checked in.

Thousands of guests pass through your properties every day, and high employee turnover means you can't count on the memory of the line-level staff.  Faced with these operational challenges, and more, how can you deliver personalized service that fosters loyalty and increases spend?

Using SAS®, a major casino company was able to:

  • Improve one-to-one marketing with patrons, particularly when the patron was on the resort property.
  • Increase on-property spending from targeted offers and recommendations.
  • Improve patron satisfaction and enhanced patron experience by using personalization at every interaction.

How SAS® Can Help 

We approach the problem by providing software and services to help you:

  • Get a single, accurate and credible profile of the guest that can be used for real-time marketing across the enterprise. 
  • Stay ahead of the competition and make revenue-maximizing decisions because you have confidence in the accuracy of your data.
  • Increase guest satisfaction, improve the patron experience and increase revenue and profits.
  • Increase guest profitability by making analytical scoring available in real time through an SOA services layer.
  • Make the most efficient use of limited marketing resources. 

The SAS master data management solution allows you to manage a single golden record of guests across all your source systems. This golden record, updated at each point of contact, contains key pieces of information about guests, including guest scoring, and is surfaced back in real time in source systems.

How SAS® Is Different 

SAS provides a Master Data Management solution more advanced than any other software vendor's.

  • Phased approach. You start with data integration, quality and governance to get a full picture of your data and processes.
  • Product integration. Our solution was developed organically, so all of the components were designed to function together. Our competitors are trying to figure out how the pieces of their acquired solutions integrate.
  • Multidomain, flexible data model. You can start with patron information, but our multidomain, flexible data model supports any entity you want to maintain records on. Whether it is location, products or vendors, you can get a consolidated, accurate and credible view of key information.
  • Analytical scoring. With SAS, you can also surface analytical scoring as part of the patron record through an SOA services layer.

We can help you improve the guest experience, increase guest satisfaction and loyalty, and increase revenue and profits by ensuring that key guest information is available in real time at the point of contact with our fully integrated MDM solution – which is built on a market-leading data integration, quality and governance foundation.

SAS® Data Migration

With large data volumes, often fragmented environments with nonstandard formats and data quality issues, many organizations have underestimated the effort required to migrate data. They tend to start by using a mix of tools and manual coding, and lack the benefits of an integrated set of tools based on a common metadata environment. This approach frequently has led to: inefficiencies in both the process and developed code, and minimal reusability and maintenance difficulties, which can ultimately lead to a common outcome that includes project delays and cost overruns.

SAS Data Migration addresses these issues, by bringing together a full-featured, state-of-the-art solution that is optimized and licensed especially for data migration projects.
