Synopsis

Hotel property management systems (PMS) have been around for a long time. They have evolved over time to become highly sophisticated and impressive business tools. But as Jos Schaap, CEO and Founder of StayNTouch, reminds us, from the days when a System36 with a hard drive the size of a bathroom mirror was the envy of hoteliers around the world to today’s cloud solutions, one thing has always remained a constant: the requirement for the PMS to connect seamlessly to as many things as possible technologically.
