Data Migration

The Bayerischer Hof Munich

The Bayerischer Hof Munich has successfully completed one of the most significant milestones in its digital transformation: the migration from Suite8 to Opera Cloud.

For a hotel of this size and complexity, the transition represented far more than a technical system replacement. It involved migrating tens of thousands of guest profiles, integrating numerous interfaces such as the channel manager and POS system, and ensuring uninterrupted day-to-day operations in one of Germany’s most prestigious grand hotels, renowned for its exclusive events, distinguished guests, and flawlessly orchestrated service.

The project was supported by agilotel, whose detailed project planning, meticulous preparation, and continuous on-site presence laid the foundation for a seamless transition.

“Without agilotel, Marc Fries, and Angelina Schallenberger, we would never have managed this migration as successfully as we ultimately did,” says Sören Huber, COO of Bayerischer Hof Munich.

One of the key success factors was agilotel’s expertise in configuring the hotel’s many interfaces, combined with the careful planning of every project phase—an undertaking that would have been extremely difficult for the hotel team to coordinate on its own.

With agilotel’s automated migration approach, the transfer of data was completed with a high level of accuracy, eliminating what would otherwise have been a largely manual process. As a result, guest profiles, activities, and event information are now seamlessly available within Opera Cloud, providing a significant advantage for customer relationship management as well as for the employees working with the new system.

On May 1, the hotel successfully went live with Opera Cloud. Throughout this critical phase, agilotel remained on site, coordinating every step of the transition, monitoring all migration activities, and ensuring that the project was successful from both a technical and an operational perspective.

Even after the go-live, agilotel continued to support the hotel by refining configurations and tailoring the system to the property’s specific operational requirements. For Bayerischer Hof, it was not only the team’s technical expertise that made the difference, but also the way the collaboration was conducted.

“Always working as equals, constructive, committed, and with exceptional dedication—that is what made this project such a success,” concludes Sören Huber.

For future projects, one thing is already certain for Bayerischer Hof: agilotel will once again be their first choice.
