We have opened our Middle East office. We have 17 new colleagues at the headquarters and 50 colleagues total spread across the affiliated regions. We are pleased to welcome the Middle East office and its co-workers under the direction of Rene Mieritz and Prem Kumar to the Acentic team.

The Acentic Middle East team are now being trained on Acentic technology at company headquarters in Cologne, Germany in order to launch the our new Panorama IP In-room Hotel Entertainment Platform dedicated to the Middle East by Q2, 2010. Currently we are bringing these new colleagues into the company and helping them to learn Acentic’s business, technology as well as the 20 rules for success.  This new team is already easily exemplifying Rule #9: Know and live the Acentic brand story.  The new addition to our company fully responds to our expectations of system sales and especially the personalised after sales service, as this is one main aspect of what differentiates us in the market.

Through this joint venture we plan to extend the success of Panorama HD and IP to hotels across the Middle East. The new office will be led by Rene Mieritz and Prem Kumar, Directors of Acentic Middle East, providing corporate and commercial expertise with over two decades of business experience in the hotel industry in the Middle East. For the Acentic Management team and myself, this is a new defining exciting chapter in the evolution of Acentic, the leading provider of HD TV to Hotels in EMEA.
