Here is an article I found this morning, regarding Starwood reservation software. Maybe, just maybe, they are finally moving towards a user friendly program. Also, take note of the software name at the end of the story!
SPI and Starwood Hotels & Resorts in Condo Hotel Software Accord
MIAMI, FL: Systems Products International (SPI) has entered into an agreement with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. to provide them with integrated condo hotel software for Starwood-managed and franchised properties.
Under the agreement, SPI will provide software for managing owner reservations, owner rental and equitable rotation of rental units. SPI will integrate the solution with Starwood’s property management system from Galaxy Hotel Systems LLC, Galaxy LightSpeed®, to provide a real-time solution for condo hotel properties.
“As we began adding condo hotel properties to our portfolio,” says Starwood Vice President of Information Technology, North America Mark McBeth, “we set out to find the most complete, specialized software and a vendor that could integrate seamlessly into our existing property management system infrastructure. We found both in SPI.”
Matt Brosious, SPI director of sales adds, “Of course, we are delighted to have been selected by global-leader Starwood Hotels and Resorts. Working together with the developers of Galaxy LightSpeed, we will have a specialized product unequalled in the marketplace. We look forward to rolling out the SPI Condo Hotel software across their portfolio of condo hotel properties.”
