I am constructing a new hotel. How far in advance prior to the opening should I start dealing with automation issues?
You should start planning your PMS system as soon as possible, but not later then six months prior to the scheduled opening date. Since PMS is central to the automation infrastructure of a hotel, your choice of PMS system may affect the choice of other technology systems, such as PBX, video, doorlocks and so on. Furthermore, your PMS supplier may have specific requirements for cabling topology and internet connectivity.
