Interior Image Group designs new hotel casegoods line for Klem Hospitality

Interior Image Group (www.interiorimagegroup.com), one of the hospitality industry's emerging leaders of interior architecture and design, was recently selected by Klem, the renowned manufacturer of hospitality furniture, to collaborate on the design of an entire new line of hotel guestroom furniture to be branded as their new “Imagination” Series.

The first of four distinct styles - called ‘Cosmopolitan’ - had its debut to the industry at the Hospitality Design Expo this past May in Las Vegas at the Klem booth. The four-part series is a joint effort by both IIG and Klem to turn “Inspiration” into reality, featuring the light, airy openness of European influence.

The concept for the “Cosmopolitan” headboard was drawn from the night sky of metropolitan Chicago bordering the Great Lakes. The raised dark walnut panel, representing the water, has a translucent appearance, allowing wave after wave of grain and texture to show. Vertical brushed metal insets hint at the Chicago Skyway, with the dark walnut ‘lake’ surrounded by a grid work of routed carvings to represent city cross-streets, all with a clear finish on beautiful natural walnut.

Patti Tritschler, President of IIG, commented: “Our design team is so honored to work with Klem to create this whole new series and this is only the beginning.  The second design in this series is already underway and promises to be just as interesting and beautiful, with perhaps some different twists.”  

Interior Image Group and Klem are creating the “Imagination” series with a variety of ancillary items to coordinate with each headboard personality. Designed as standalone items, they can be built to fit almost any design concept.  The pieces work the way guests actually use them while facilitating housekeeping, which makes them a practical, attractive and efficient solution. The flexible format allows designers and hoteliers to select materials for their specific purposes.

Digital Software Clarity Group Reviews Oshyn in New Service Providers Report

Digital Clarity Group (DCG) released its first premium service providers research report, “Guide to Service Providers for Web Content and Customer Experience Management”, analysing Oshyn (http://www.oshyn.com/) and 41 other vendors . This report specifically covers web service providers, discussing their growing role in an organization’s technology projects as well as giving a detailed view of their expertise and knowledge set.

On the importance of creating such a report for customers, Scott Liewehr, President at Digital Clarity Group said, “DCG has been covering the deployment of content and engagement related technologies since our inception. And if there’s one rule that applies to every deployment of technology, it’s that the implementation is what sets every business on the road to success or failure. A great implementation partner is one of the primary keys to a successful customer engagement strategy." 

In the report, DCG dives into the complex field of Web Content Management (WCM) and Consumer Experience Management (CEM) and why with the new advances in both fields, it’s often impossible for an in-house team to implement a successful strategy without the help of a service provider. In the report, DCG states:

In the past, service providers could be easily sorted by their focus (ad agencies, digital agencies, systems integrators, etc.) Nearly every service provider we interviewed said it is adding staff (or entire new skill sets), acquiring other firms, forming new vendor partnerships, mastering new technologies, and otherwise transforming its business model and product offerings. . . . [This] reflects the pervasive desire among firms to combine design, strategy, communications, and technical expertise and services.

Oshyn, along with several other service providers in North America, was contacted and interviewed by DCG to be included in this in-depth report. The DCG report gives a snapshot of each service partner, from general company information to their WCM technology partnerships, to an overview of their project approach and values, to perspectives of what the company has to offer from both their clients’ point of view and that of DCG.

“Oshyn was proud to be included in this extensive research report,” said Diego Rebosio, Oshyn’s CEO. “Selecting the right service provider is key to a project’s success and this report gives clients a clear view of each provider’s strengths and experience as well as their expertise.”

Digital Clarity Group’s premium research report, “Guide to Service Providers for Web Content and Customer Experience Management” is available today on www.digitalclairtygroup.com (http://www.digitalclaritygroup.com/blog/research/premium-...).
