Infor Hospitality launches two new guest self-service portals (SSPs) for online booking and ordering
NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Infor, the industry cloud company, today announced a significant update to Infor Sales & Catering with two new guest self-service portals (SSPs) for online booking and ordering. Part of the Infor CloudSuite Hospitality suite of solutions, Infor Sales & Catering is one of the industry's only platforms designed around the beginning-to-end stages of an event. This unique, process-driven lifecycle technology is customizable and designed to streamline processes for added productivity, building consistent business practices to improve data integrity, and eliminating errors to help reduce costs.

One of the new portals, Infor SCS Online Booking SSP, allows guests to check availability for new events in real time. If event space is available on a desired date, guests can reserve that location, make selections for food, beverage and other services, receive a summary of charges and pay with a credit card — all online without having to engage with a salesperson. The benefits to guests and meeting planners are convenience, flexibility and enhanced productivity. This eliminates the need to wait for a reply to an inquiry or work within the venue's business hours. The benefit to the venue is increased revenue and reduced costs. Open event spaces have a higher chance of being booked and do not require the engagement of a salesperson, which is especially important during times when workforces might be in flux.
The second portal, Infor SCS Online Ordering SSP, delivers tools for guests to go online to order catering services for delivery. Whether ordering food and beverage services for a trade show booth at a convention, catering for a meeting on campus at a university, or catering services for a wedding in a backyard, everything can be ordered and paid for online. The benefits to guests are convenience, flexibility and enhanced productivity, with no more waiting for a reply to an inquiry or working within the venue's business hours. The benefits to the venue are increased revenue and reduced costs, as the ordering process does not require the engagement of a salesperson.
"Simplicity, efficiency, and the option for contactless interactions are what we keep hearing over and over in the hospitality industry right now – both from hoteliers and from guests. The modern guest wants to have information at the stroke of a key, and being able to provide them with same level of service and information through technology is what is setting organizations apart from their competitors," said Jason Floyd, general manager, Infor Hospitality. "As events continue to pick up this year and next, having flexible solutions to manage demand will be critical to success. Infor understands the need to automate the entire event booking process, from initial inquiry to the final invoice, which is why we continue to innovate within our technology stack."

On Friday afternoon, decentralized finance (DeFi) users discovered a researcher for Divergence Ventures, a crypto venture firm, was receiving hundreds of ETH from wallets selling recently airdropped RBN tokens – a sign of an airdrop exploit to which Divergence later admitted. The episode presents the largely unregulated, permissionless DeFi community with yet another chance to debate the nature of fair play in an increasingly powerful, $200 billion ecosystem where the only governance is on-chain rules and some modicum of common sense. “Airdrops” are a token distribution method that allows users to claim tokens if they’ve completed certain actions or fulfill other parameters, such as having deposited into a vault or participated in a project’s governance.

New rules will be needed to deal with operational risks from banks relying on outsourced 'cloud' computing from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others for providing services to customers, the Bank of England said on Friday. "Regulated firms will continue to have primary responsibility for managing risks stemming from their outsourcing and third-party dependencies," the BoE's Financial Policy Committee said in a statement. "However, additional policy measures, some requiring legislative change, are likely to be needed to mitigate the financial stability risks stemming from concentration in the provision of some third-party services."
