In brief
In brief
- We surveyed 300 airline and hotel industry senior executives across functions.
- They acknowledge the need to move applications to the cloud to improve. Yet only 30% of travel companies are implementing cloud at scale today.
- We explored how these cloud scalers positioned their companies for the future.
- Travel executives can learn from cloud scalers in other industries. Now is the time to make three fundamental mindset shifts for future success.
Travel industry growth: First think, then act
The cloud scalers say success depends on a strategy that creates a solid foundation for change:
1. Think about the role of IT
The CIO should do more than oversee the technology. With a seat at the table, the CIO can drive future growth.
2. Think new ways of working
Think about how your current systems are working—or not working. Imagine skilled employees who support highly configurable and adaptable systems.
3. Think success beyond the change
Travel companies can develop a transformation plan that mitigates data security and privacy challenges.
