Dorint, based in Cologne, Germany, is replacing competitive systems in more than half of the hotels in favour of the Acentic Vision Series, a platform of interactive guest communication and digital entertainment solutions. Acentic's reliable, scalable and flexible Vision platform enables cost-effective implementation across Dorint's base of hotels, including the ability to run via the existing coaxial network and a flexible architecture that caters to future Internet-based applications.

Vision's outstanding entertainment and information technology includes a dynamic Adobe® Flash-based GUI with simplified navigation, a fully-branded Dorint interface and multiple entertainment offerings with full VOD, fast forward, rewind, pause and bookmarking, as well as access to Acentic's vast content library.

"Acentic provides a technically mature product as well as the key operational expertise to meet the top priorities for our new group-wide in-room TV technology throughout the lifetime of the contract, from installation through to ongoing support and yield management," said Christian Mutschler, technical director at Dorint. "Acentic exemplifies the design capabilities and adaptability to Dorint's needs, providing the most value amongst our options to deliver benefits to guests as soon as possible."

"Acentic is thrilled to become a part of the Dorint family, further confirming our company as the leading provider of iTV solutions in the German market," said Kai Generlich, director of sales Central Europe, Acentic. "Acentic is strong in the market, we understand the hotel business and we can adapt to Dorint's high design needs, providing a quick and reliable roll out of the Acentic solution that will bring success for the hotels and their guests."
