In my last post, I predicted that 2012 will be the year that mobility becomes “mainstreamed” into the resort, casino, and hotel market.
My friends at TIG Global concur… and their customers agree as well. TIG Global is a MICROS subsidiary and one of the world’s leading hospitality web marketing agencies. Over the past 6 months they’ve seen a huge upswing in demand for dedicated mobile websites. Smart hotel marketing pros know that they need to be where their customers are – and in today’s world, that means having dedicated presence on the smartphones that we all use to organize our lives.
If you’re still wondering if you need to invest in mobility solutions, check out this recent TIG Global post on “Five Reasons you must have a mobile site for 2012″:

Happy New Year!
About Jonathan Seigle
Greetings from Las Vegas and welcome to the MICROS Blog! I’ve been at MICROS for about 9 years, the past 7 based here in the Entertainment Capital of the World. I’m somewhat unique at MICROS, having spent substantial time on both the restaurant and hotel sides of our business. Las Vegas must be one of the best places in the world to be involved in hospitality technology, with our 150,000 hotel rooms and thousands of restaurants. We get almost 40 million visitors per year coming through Las Vegas, making the high-volume resorts and restaurants here the ultimate proving ground for our solutions. Borrowing a phrase from another great American city and applying it to technology: “if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere”.
I got my start in hospitality at age 18 as a bellman, valet, and limo driver at various resorts in Orange County, California, working during summers off from college. Before coming to MICROS, I had various sales and marketing positions at technology companies like Ingram Micro, Touchstone Software, SeatAdvisor, and Cisco Systems. I joined MICROS at our office in Huntington Beach, California in 2002 and then jumped at the chance to relocate to Las Vegas a couple years later.
Outside of MICROS, I keep busy with my wife and three kids enjoying all of the outdoor activities here in Nevada, cheering for UNLV basketball, and suffering through UNLV football.
