Authoritative Guide to Next-Generation Property Management Systems: Now Available for Complimentary Download
The 2015 Smart Decision Guide to Hotel Property Management Systems details the buying considerations and provides an evaluation framework for making the right purchase decision
CHICAGO, IL - August 24, 2015 - It's no wonder that hotels, resorts, casinos and other hospitality properties have come to embrace next-generation property management systems as a strategic imperative. These systems have fast become a prerequisite for success in today's competitive environment.
Yet, the requirements and expectations on the part of hoteliers can vary dramatically, and selecting a solution that best fits their organization's specific needs can be a daunting task. With the release of The 2015 Smart Decision Guide to Hotel Property Management Systems, hoteliers can now have access to an unbiased and comprehensive framework for evaluation, enabling them to not only select the right solution but also maximize the value of their investment once it is implemented.
“Ideally, a next-generation PMS should enable hoteliers to centrally manage, track, measure, analyze and optimize the constant flow of information across all parts of the organization in real-time,” said Jeff Zabin, CEO of Starfleet Media, which publishes the annual Smart Decision Guide. “Ultimately, and most importantly, it should ensure that business operations run as efficiently and as effectively as possible.”
“Beyond improving operational performance, a PMS should enhance the quality of the guest experience,” he said. “In fact, there may be no better measure of technology performance than the degree to which the new system helps raise the level of overall guest satisfaction.”
The research is based on data collected from 162 qualified survey respondents across different geographies, types of lodging properties and levels of the organization. The content was independently produced, providing for unbiased, fact-based information. The underwriters of this Smart Decision Guide include the following industry leaders: Agilysys, Hotelogix, Infor, MaestroPMS and RoomKeyPMS.
The 2015 Smart Decision Guide to Hotel Property Management Systems can be accessed here. Starfleet Media recently released two other Smart Decision Guides focused on the hospitality industry: The 2015 Smart Decision Guide to Hospitality Revenue Management and The 2015 Smart Decision Guide to Restaurant POS Systems.
