CitizenM is a Netherlands based hotel developer, investor and hotel chain. They disrupt the hotel industry with enormous European and US expansions, with new additions in Asia and ventures into unchartered territories. “These ambitious roll-outs mean we have to onboard a lot of new ambassadors”, explains Daniël Zwiers, Tech Team Information Security Manager. And, using Florbs can make that a lot easier.

 Before Florbs

 

In the past, the onboarding process took 1 hour per new ambassador. From user access permissions to the set up of all their accounts and configuration of email signatures, like many IT departments, Zwiers has to deal with:

  • onboarding many new ambassadors (employees) per year

  • routine and time-consuming tasks like granting permissions, setting up accounts etc.

  • taking care of a well-equipped IT workplace (e.g. hardware)

  • working with different time zones due to new hotel openings all around the world.

With the amount of new hotel openings, Zwiers had to find a more sustainable and efficient way to be able to execute these responsibilities: “We want to give our ambassadors the wow factor”, says Zwiers. IT has to support them to hit the ground running quickly by offering simple and intuitive solutions.
