It was originally created to provide Oracle Hospitality (previously Micros-Fidelio) implementation and support services, but eventually expanded to serve as a one- stop- shop for hospitality solutions and services. Broader installation and implementation services, specialized solutions that suit the hospitality market worldwide, consultation and project management are just a few of the global services developed to serve more customers around the world. ACT International operates in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Australia, France and North Africa through dedicated offices in each region.
