Ditch Your Legacy System: A Case for Making Your Hotel PMS a Strategic, Profit-Generating Asset | By Steve Lapekas

“You have to spend money to make money” – this advice that most of us will encounter at some point in our lives, especially regarding business. But as any successful business owner can surely tell you, strategically spending money is only half of the equation.

How Sharing Information Between Hotel Departments Via Tech is Changing the Future of Hospitality | By Warren Dehan
