Delphi, by Newmarket Inc., is a Property Management System that continuously improves its ability and popularity year after year. As of November of 2014, Delphi has released its latest version, Delphi 2015. Globally speaking, there are over 100,000 Newmarket technology users that access these systems in over 150 countries daily. Delphi is a PMS system that can collect, distribute and manage RFP distribution within any set of properties. Recently, they adapted StarCite RFP integration and are announcing a partnership with MeetingBroker, another reporting engine. Both StarCite and MeetingBroker allow proposal requests to automatically populate in selected Delphi accounts, bridging the gap between consumer and seller much more quickly and accurately. I have personally used Delphi on a daily basis over the past year at work and I can honestly see the huge benefit these types of systems can have. It's ability to interface with Synxis, Opera and other room reservation systems is crucial in successfully reaching perfect occupancy numbers. On an event management level, it can merge legal-binding documents specific to that event. At the same time, it can hold a certain amount of guestrooms or certain event space for certain prices at certain times. These room holds interface with reservations and front office departments while the space holds interface with catering, banquet, accounting, and convention services departments. Delphi is an incredible tool that is the true foundation to property-wide events. It's ability to manage rooms, space, menus and revenues is a lifeline to the success of many properties.

Consider of one the most important factors of computer network through internet, security, business can be attacked from both inside and outside the company network. Therefore, computer network security is very important to prevent and protect the organization from internal and external attacks. This research paper talks about the importance of computer network security, the current situation and the future trend. It focus on the Delphi technique installation in the future corporations, which is designed as a group communication process that aims at conducting detailed examinations and discussions of a specific issue for the purpose of goal setting, policy investigation, or predicting the occurrence of future events. Common surveys try to identify "what is," whereas the Delphi technique attempts to address "what could/should be". I learnt about this technology on a graduate course Meeting and Convention, the certificate of Delphi is an requirement in the convention industry right now, and I think it will be widespread used in the future.

Destination Hotels & Resorts has implemented SpeedRFP. SpeedRFP represents the most robust version of the RFP tool currently available to hotels. The hotel RFP's are routed directly to Delphi sales and catering system. This system also allows for Global and National Sales Offices to be involved in the RFP process.

Hotel ProposalPro Creates and Tracks Professional Proposals and RFP Responses; Shares Leads Throughout an Enterprise to Increase Sales and Revenue

Hotel ProposalPro works either as a seperate entity, or in conjunction with any of Hotel SystemsPro's other programs, such as SalesPro. It allows management companies to share leads in a more productive fashion, as well as helps with creating and closing contracts with clients. I am personally jealous at this point. I am required to use Delphi.net, which has been "undergoing a transistion" to .LDC for the last 8 months (which has yet to make it to me). The functionality of Delphi is not nearly as user-friendly as some of the other programs, such as SalesPro. To hear that SalesPro is now having the option of adding on ProposalPro, just makes the program that much more desireable to me. I'm sure it has it's flaws as well, as every program does, but I would really like to make the change to almost any other program.

This article is about a new revolution software in the Quick service industry especially in the Drive-thru area to increase speed of service and customer satisfaction. The new technology called Emprise allows the digital menu board to become a one-on-one sales tool for the quick service provider. Also Emprise has the ability to recognize guests' preferences, personal information and based on that, recommend menu items for customers.

The reason for my choice is because, this system is so user friendly and till date I have never heard of a system such as Delphi, that tracks, records, books, practically does anything and everything for you.

Highlights: 1) Computers are used extensively by lodging managers and their assistants to keep track of guests' bills, reservations, room assignments, meetings, and special events. In addition, computers are used to order food, beverages, and supplies, as well as to prepare reports for hotel owners and top-level managers. 2) As for front desk, these computers have an intricate soft ware called the Property Managemen System (PMS) to do all the check ins, guest accounting, and etc. 3) In the restaurant, lounge, or bar is a new computer entirely called a Point of Sale System (POS). This will collaborate with a PMS to bill guests for a meal and etc, but can also be used as a cash register. 4) The computer in the sales office, which software is most likely DelPhi which is a booking terminal. 5) Nowadays hotel without a computer is like a bank without a vault. 6) The PMS may interface with central reservation system(CRS) and revenue or yield management system.

This article talks about the various types of computer systems in the hospitality industry, as well as their usage and benefits. Most of the common computer systems in the hospitality industry are PMS, POS, CRS, and DelPhi. A computer systems may be link to another to ensure streamline process. For example, the POS system at a hotel's restaurant can be linked to the PMS system at the front desk. That way, the guest's restaurant bill can be directly charge to his/her folio. Most of the large hotels do use computer systems. As the author mentioned, "a hotel without a computer is like a bank without a vault." In my opinion, hotels will not be able to deliver exemplary guest service without inventing in computer systems in today's competitive market.

This article talks about what is different between cloud POS and traditional POS. And what innovation about future POS is. The future POS is the system combine traditional and cloud POS, which decreases the risk of both negative sides.

This article covers the research behind and design of software implemented in the Czech Republic to monitor visitor activity in protected areas. The software is designed to act as a "tour guide" and keeps track of visitors through satellite positioning. The article discusses the process by which this software would be developed, rationale for its implementation, and consumer data that may be collected through this process that would benefit National Parks and other protected areas. Theoretical questions in regard to human interaction, privacy concerns, and effectiveness of the application in low-service areas are discussed. Though the application requires more research and strict attention to variables, its implementation worldwide could change how sustainable tourism is managed and would provide important information on consumer habits in protected areas.
