It's been a mantra of sorts for Oracle Hospitality since we announced our commitment to an open API strategy 18 months ago.

But it's taken on a whole new meaning in the context of efforts to help hoteliers chart a course to recovery. And during Innovation Week – our digital event that brought together Oracle experts and vendors to accelerate development of high-demand integrations for hoteliers – the popular refrain took on a life of its own.The inaugural event marshalled an array of resources – including dozens of Zoom presentations, Ask the Expert sessions for free consulting, and 32 live integration testing environments – to not only foster dialogue about innovation but make it reality. In fact, during the span of the event's five days, many vendors made significant progress in the development of their integrations.
