Netflix Expands Hospitality Offering Through Expanded Enseo Agreement

Partnership enables Enseo® to offer Netflix® app to any hotel in the world where the Netflix service is available

RICHARDSON, Texas - Thursday, August 18th 2016 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Enseo signed an agreement expanding Enseo’s rights to now distribute the Netflix application on select Enseo devices to any hotel under a specific contract with Enseo in any country where the Netflix service is available.

"Our partnership with Enseo brings Netflix members a high quality viewing experience on their hotel room TV," said Paul Perryman, Director Business Development at Netflix. "Through our expanded agreement, now more hotels in more countries will be able to provide guests access to their favorite Netflix TV shows and movies on the in-room television, making their hotel room feel more like home."

In 2014, Enseo was the first hospitality integrator to license and deploy the Netflix application in hotels. Backed by a world-class platform of powerful hardware, flexible software, and technology-based services, Enseo has designed a platform that continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of hotel brands, hotel owners, and most importantly, the guest.

Guests staying in hotels powered by such Enseo devices will be able to subscribe to Netflix or sign into their existing accounts simply by accessing the Netflix application on the guest room TV via a Netflix logo on the on-screen TV menu, or a Netflix-branded button on the TV remote control. In addition, guests will not be required to pay in-room Internet fees in order to access the Netflix application on the Enseo device. When the guest checks out, their Netflix user credentials will be automatically removed from the device.

Enseo’s Room Operating Center (eROC™) powers guest experiences including streaming Over-The-Top (OTT) applications like Netflix, as well as enabling guests to listen to their own music using Enseo’s Bluetooth® audio. Enseo provides guests the best WiFi service with Enseo’s HSIA and HomeAwayFromHome™ personal area networks.

Enseo’s advanced data analytics gathered data from several million occupied room nights this year proves Netflix is the guest’s favorite channel in all 19 hotel brands deployed today. This was consistent across all demographics from luxury guests to conference attendees and the ever elusive millennial traveler.

“We are thrilled and honored that Netflix has chosen Enseo as their partner to offer Netflix on the in-room television for guests around the globe. It is a tremendous amount of trust. Enseo will ensure that the television itself behaves, the remote and on-screen menu are easy to navigate, and the network operates at the highest standards at each Enseo property, giving Netflix members the great streaming content and viewing experience they have come to expect. Our owners are thrilled as they have been demanding our solution for more of their properties,” said Vanessa Ogle, Enseo’s Founder, Chairman and CEO.
