RezOvation Launches GTO – RezOvation GT Online

March 31, 2009

Atlanta, GA – RezOvation, the leader in property management systems for inns, B&Bs, hotels, and specialty lodging announced the launch of a fully online version of its RezOvation GT 5.0 Property Management System product today at the annual Professional Association of Innkeepers International conference.  “This is not a scaled-down web-based PMS with limited functionality that requires numerous clicks to get anything done,” explained John Banczak, COO of RezOvation.  “This full-blown hosted version of our RezOvation GT product is complete with all its robust features, right down to the user interface, credit card processing, and connectivity to sites like BedandBreakfast.com, Expedia.com, hotels.com and Kayak.  It’s a huge leap forward in the feature set and usability of an application that can be accessed via the Internet.” RezOvation GTO is part of an increasing number of sophisticated hosted applications that have been enabled by advances in technology and bandwidth. Just two years ago, providing these features in an online application would have been cost prohibitive, but as storage, processing power, and bandwidth have gotten more affordable, hosted applications have become an extremely appealing option.  The beauty of a true hosted application lies within the user interface; hosted applications enable a user experience that exactly mimics a true installed application, so features like dragging and dropping can be accomplished easily, whereas in HTML they are cumbersome at best.  

A hosted application also offers great flexibility to innkeepers who can use the exact same product on either their desktop or online, at exactly the same pricing.  If innkeepers prefer the speed and security of a locally installed application they can select that option; if they prefer the flexibility of remote access they can choose that instead.  Pricing for the software with the Booking Engine will be the same regardless and innkeepers can switch at any time.  The other appealing aspect of a hosted application is the flexibility with which users can access the system.  Innkeepers can access the product directly via a website on any PC or Mac computer via Internet Explorer.  Options even exist to have a robust iPhone interface, or to use a USB login key for the ultimate in security and accessibility.
 

RezOvation GT has been setting the standard for small-to-mid-size property management software since its first release just over two years ago.  The GT product offers an easy-to-use interface coupled with powerful features.  Properties can just as easily manage a nested inventory rate structure with direct, seamless connections to Expedia, hotels.com, BedandBreakfast.com, Kayak, Sidestep, JackRabbit Systems and others as they can schedule automatic birthday or anniversary emails to be sent out to repeat guests every year.  RezOvation GT integrates everything into one affordable, easy-to-use package: online bookings, reporting, QuickBooks connectivity, PA-DSS lodging certified credit-card processing, guest communications, instant, off-site data backup.  Innkeepers save hours of time every week, while also getting peace of mind from a data security standpoint.  Whether innkeepers prefer a traditional installed application or the new web-based RezOvation GTO 5.0, it’s all available at incredibly low monthly fees with unlimited online transactions. RezOvation GTO 5.0 is available for sale now with the first customers expected to go live on  on May 4, 2009.
