Valley View Casino & Hotel and industry cloud company Infor on Wednesday said they have expanded their 17-year technology partnership, with Valley View moving its core business applications to the cloud.
Valley View, which is located near Escondido in North San Diego County, said it chose Infor’s CloudSuite applications that are specialized for the hospitality industry to integrate and modernize its core business processes.
Through the use of Infor’s cloud-based financial, supply chain management and budgeting applications, Valley View said it will be able to connect siloed applications, reduce manual processes and make more-informed business decisions, better support financials, supply management, purchasing, inventory, budgeting and analytics. Specifically, an integrated financial and supply management software solution suite will couple modern financial functionality with tools to track supplies and streamline order processes, officials said.
Infor noted it will provide networked analytics and a user experience augmented by artificial intelligence so users can work on an integrated and dynamic platform that makes daily tasks easier and more intuitive. In addition, Infor Dynamic Enterprise Performance Management (Infor d/EPM) will deliver integrated planning, budgeting, forecasting, financial consolidation, and scenarios. Infor's innovative cloud technologies, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), will provide Valley View with increased operational efficiency and greater visibility when it comes to key business data.
“We have trusted our technology partnership with Infor for nearly two decades,” Leilani Marquiss, Valley View Casino & Hotel vice president of finance and chief financial officer, said in a statement. “It made sense to partner with them again as we modernize our operations and digitally transform to meet the needs of tomorrow’s consumer and traveler. As the industry continues to change and new demands begin to emerge, we will now have the security, flexibility and scalability to better support our internal teams and ultimately our guests.”
Jason Floyd, Infor Hospitality general manager, added: “The competition in the gaming industry can be fierce, and it is more important than ever to find a technology partner that can keep your organization efficient, intelligent and agile as times change, culture shifts, and new technology emerges. With Infor, organizations of all sizes can experience what successful bottom-line results should look like.”
Infor says it provides enterprise applications to 65,000 customers in more than 175 countries.
Valley View Casino & Hotel has been a vision of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians for many years and the grand opening on April 18, 2001 marked a milestone event in the tribe’s history.
The San Pasqual Band is a part of Southern California’s Kumeyaay Nation, a people that originated thousands of years ago as seasonal hunters and gatherers in the area. The original San Pasqual reservation was approved in 1870 by President Ulysses S. Grant. It encompassed 92,000 acres and spanned from Ramona to Mount Woodson and Highland Valley to Lake Wohlford.
