HITEC Day 2 Wrap Up

As I mentioned earlier today, the interest level by HITEC attendees and even fellow exhibitors was tremendous today. Shiva, Phil, and Randall were busy in meetings for almost the entire day. They gave presentations to representatives for Omni Hotels, Hyatt, as well as from Starwood Hotels, which some friends at Host Hotels were eager to introduce to Shiva. Having listened to most of these meetings, it appeared everyone was in agreement that the TiVUS system was the future of in room hospitality.

After the last meeting of the day, I asked Phil what the overall excitement was by the various representatives. He said their response was “nothing but positive, and all of them were eager to discuss how our system could benefit their hotels.” There were also numerous telecommunication service providers that were eager to look at the system. With their decades of experience installing in hotels worldwide, there are synergies that could be figured out to mutually benefit them and TiVUS.

I personally expect this conference to lead to great things for TiVUS, and can’t think of a better way today could have gone for Tivus, but there is still tomorrow…

Tons of Demonstrations at HITEC Conference on Day 2

After the success at HITEC yesterday, the TiVUS demonstration room has had near constant traffic. Numerous hotel management companies are expressing interest in the system, particularly with the ability for generating revenue off of ad-insertion on the free-to-guest channels. One meeting involved the owner of a management company with 30 hotels watching the ad-insertion demonstration, and commenting how amazed he was that we were able to do it.

HITEC Conference Day 1

First day of the HITEC conference was yesterday, hosted by the Hospitality Financial and Technologies (HFTP) group, wrapped up earlier today and from all accounts it was a win for TiVUS. The highlight was Host Hotels & Resorts bringing in representatives from one of the major high-end hotel chains across the world to view the system. This is clear indication that Host believes in the technology, and wants to see the TiVUS Solution implemented in hotel rooms worldwide. Keep posted to TiVUS to hear more about what we’re doing at the HITEC conference the next 2 days.

Philadelphia Installation Rolling Along

TiVus is moving fast on the install at the Philadelphia hotel owned by Host Hotels & Resorts (which is the largest real estate investment trust group in the country, in case you forgot). Apparently, now 500 rooms are live at the hotel, which is over a 1/3 of the hotel’s total rooms. The projected completion date is sometime late in the summer of this year. Keep in mind the TiVus install crew is working in tandem with the hotel’s remodeling crew, so the speed isn’t entirely up to TiVus. Check out the full release below the fold or on TiVus’ Site.

QualityStocks Promoting Tivus

It’s really exciting when Quality Stocks does a feature on Tivus, discussing the potential Tivus has for growth and expansion in the hospitality industry. QualityStocks focuses on “companies that have huge potential to succeed in the short and long-term future.” Their membership board is exclusive and invitation-only, and represents some of the more savvy investors on the internet.

My favorite line from QualityStock’s post has to be this one: “The company’s integrated platform stands far beyond the competition”. Go check out the full forum thread on QualityStocks and read all the comments, I think you’ll enjoy it too.

Some Good Mentions in the Blogosphere

After today’s release of Tivus’ Q1 2011 Review, a lot of IPTV, technology, and business blogs have started to pay a little more attention to Tivus. It’s about time everyone started to notice the potential of Tivus, but I guess once you can start saying thousands of guests have used Tivus, people realize the potential. (I’ll post more as I find them)

After last week’s praise, FavStocks posted today’s press. I anticipate them to regularly cover Tivus. Click here to check it out.

FavStocks Posts About Tivus

Fav Stocks posted an excellent piece today discussing the real potential of Tivus, Inc.. I suggest you take a look, and understand why we and they are so excited about what Tivus is doing.

The author highlights a lot of the things that we try and point out to investors and reporters whenever we talk. They point out the Host Hotels agreement shows Tivus “has recently begun to strengthen its foothold in the industry by landing this sort of arrangement with Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.”. They even go so far to say that “The word “undervalued” is often tossed around too frequently in the stock market”, but that Tivus actually deserves the moniker. I suggest you go read the story, which you can find by clicking here.

TiVus Announces First 300 Rooms Live at Host Hotels & Resorts Property

The installation at the Host Hotels & Resorts property in Philadelphia, PA is moving quickly. TiVus has already installed 300 rooms at the property. Current projections show the installation should be fully completed sometime in the summer, based on the speed of the Host Hotels remodeling crews. This is a real game changer for TiVus, and I’m excited to see the property go 100% live. Read the full story below the fold.
