The Network as Platform in gaming and hospitality:カジノのITシステム

  • Mike Day
  • All system start from proprietary→IT is cost, no adding Value!!
  • Now change→高いスロット、良い顧客をリアルタイムでチェック、酒などのサービスを提供。逆に、怪しい客や馬鹿アタリの客には監視カメラを集中
  • パーソナライズが鍵。カジノカードはカスタマーのすべての行動を把握できる。100万ドルのIT投資は、大きくない。忙しいカジノ時間、システムが3時間ダウンすれば100万ドルの損失。
  • これからの課題:現在のProprietary Protocolでは、ネット上のコンテンツを利用できないので、今後はOpen Protocol化してゆきたい。

Network is a platform (Inbra Lasser-Raab、Cisco Systems)

  • Coca-Colaのピッキング精度は83%程度だった。システムをSOA化し、物流倉庫に音声認識(VXML)を導入。フォークリフトのオペレーターは、所定のスロットにつくと「何をいくつピックアップし、どこのロットに置くべきか」を音声指示で受け取る。→おかげで精度は99.3%になった。
