Specialty Finance Closes Loan for NYC Staybridge
SEPTEMBER 13, 2007. SoftBrands, Inc. (AMEX: SBN), a global supplier of enterprise application software, today announced that Mainsail Management Group, Inc. has selected SoftBrands' Epitome property management system (PMS) for its hotels.
SoftBrands Epitome PMS is built on the Microsoft .Net TM Internet framework and provides a highly functional and scaleable system in a centrally deployed Internet native environment, which means workstations only require a web browser to operate. Additional benefits of the .Net platform include allowing multi-property hotels to centralize their operations which makes future upgrades simpler and faster, and reducing the IT support and security burden at the individual hotel properties.
"Implementing the Epitome (.NET) multi-property PMS was a collective decision made by our entire team after we researched several property management systems," said Julie Corlew, managing director, Mainsail Management Group. "We wanted technology that can grow with us and is easy for our staff to learn. Epitome seems to have both of these areas covered and we expect to use them in future hotel projects for our brand."
"Mainsail Management Group was looking for a reliable partner that could provide the sophisticated technology solutions to meet its requirements along with responsive service and support," said Jo Masters, vice president and general manager of SoftBrands Americas hospitality business. "The SoftBrands Epitome PMS offers the flexibility and features Mainsail needed to effectively manage its growing portfolio of properties. Our industry-leading 24x7x365 customer support also helps Mainsail receive maximum value from its technology investment."
