IT Department Roles

Not every hotel has its own IT department. Many hotels choose to outsource this specialization to external companies. However, larger hotel chains or hotels often have an internal IT department. As an IT specialist in a hotel, you are responsible for managing the technical infrastructure, resource management, and both technical and functional management of various applications that support the hotel's business processes.

Responsibilities of the IT Department

You participate in strategic projects, including network design, software development, and data analysis. Your expertise in new technologies helps you set priorities and maintain an overview. You report directly to management.

  • Purchase of hardware such as computers and printers.

  • Installation and configuration of IT equipment and wiring.

  • Daily management of audiovisual and cinema systems, applications, and facilities.
