The itaas Hotel VOD Billing System Gateway (BSG) enables MSOs to leverage their residential VOD infrastructure to provide VOD services to the hospitality industry. Traditional cable billing systems face a challenge in catering to the real time billing requirements for servicing hotels. Additionally, hospitality systems require VOD purchases to be posted to the MSO billing system and to each hotel’s billing system or property management system (PMS).

The requirement for double post accounting and support for the large number of Property Management Systems are some of the challenges cable operators face in offering a hotel VOD solution. The itaas Hotel VOD BSG addresses this problem by interfacing between the Business Management System (BMS) and the cable billing system to isolate hotel VOD transactions from residential VOD transactions.
