Greetings from Percipia Networks and Orlando Florida! Our
tech team, including myself just finalized an install in sunny Orlando,
Florida! Escaping the cold Chicago weather was quite a blessing. Not only was
the temperature outstanding, but the location of all the resorts on this
Orlando strip were breathtaking. Some of them looked like giant monoliths from
ancient Rome. What keeps them in business from what I gathered is that they are
booked with people either taking in national conventions or attending the
amusement parks. Needless to say, they were bustling with hundreds of guests
each day. Coming away from our install, I realized that the hospitality of the
staff at these hotels is incredible. It definitely created a good experience
for the customer as well as the employee such as myself. Aside from the
hospitality of the group, we had an excellent time installing our newest
version of Parallax at the second largest in the chain of hotels. (That’s 300
rooms folks!) It is the third install for us with this group and we look
forward to finishing the deal. (Only 3 more installs to go!) It was my first
install and my first expenditure as a tech installer for Percipia Networks.
I think the only thing that I can say that was completely
mind boggling about this trip was seeing Christmas decorations set up in one of
the largest tropical environments in the United States. I couldn’t help but
laugh as Christmas carols were being belted at high volume in a city lined with
palm trees. I’m a native to palm trees, but being able to travel to a destination
like this during Christmas time was a bit relaxing if not a bit odd. The day I
got back from Chicago, I was again wrapped like a Christmas present in layers
of clothing. Hopefully we can do an install like this again, so I can wear
tropical shorts with a Hawaiian shirt during one of the biggest holiday seasons
of the year. So it is without further ado, a very Happy Holidays to all those
travelers boarding the jets for these tropical destinations and a very Merry
Christmas to those who are in need of some fantastic hospitality at one of the
most renowned hotel areas in America. Seasons Greetings!
