    The main focus of the article is the use of Aptech PVNG Enterprise Accounting within La Corsha Hospitality Group. La Corsha has been implemented the web-based system over 10 properties, providing a flexibility between hotel and restaurant operations. The multi-company system is meant to facilitate the way companies report and access data while also managing finances. The main feature is that it is very detailed in the way is analyzes the finances and allows for it to increase productivity within the workplace. Also giving a brief description about how Aptech computer systems is the "only provider to fully integrated enterprise accounting, business intelligence and planning ecosystem to the hospitality industry." Besides the ability to help productivity, what I consider important is that the software helps define who and who doesn't have access to certain functions. When it come to finances, security is important and having that function allows management to control and limit the staff that is allowed access. Not only does it prevent theft but in my opinion it helps to hold the staff accountable for the expenses that are being reported.

Investing in the IT That Makes a Competitive Difference - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 22 Oct 16 - No Cached
  • To better understand when and where IT confers competitive advantage in today’s economy, we studied all publicly traded U.S. companies in all industries from the 1960s through 2005, looking at relevant performance indicators from each (including sales, earnings, profitability, and market capitalization) and found some striking patterns:
  • Most industries have historically been fairly immune from this kind of Schumpeterian competition. However, our findings show that the internet and enterprise IT are now accelerating competition within traditional industries in the broader U.S. economy. Why? Not because more products are becoming digital but because more processes are
  • One interpretation of our findings might be that IT is, indeed, inducing the intensified competition we’ve documented—but that the change in dynamics is only temporary.

  • To survive, or better yet thrive, in this more competitive environment, the mantra for any CEO should be, “Deploy, innovate, and propagate”: First, deploy a consistent technology platform.
  • As corporate IT facilitates the implementation and monitoring of processes, the value of simply carrying out rote instructions will fall while the value of inventing better methods will rise.
  • anonymous on 22 Oct 16
     
    This article talks about how accelerated competition has coincided with an increase in the quantity and quality of IT investment. A lot of companies have change the operating model that they have with the Internet and enterprise software. I learned that the link between competition and technology has become much stronger. In 2008 it was projected that the worldwide enterprise software revenue would approach $190 billion. We learn that it is not easy for most companies to deploy enterprise IT successfully. The technologies themselves are complicated to configure and test, and changing people's behavior and attitudes toward technology is even more challenging. The IT has changed dramatically for a long time and it is still growing and developing.

Rackspace Private Cloud: Instant OpenStack - Network Computing - 2 views

shared by Rui Zhu on 06 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • While installing Linux and OpenStack isn't difficult--there's a complete set of instructions on OpenStack.org--Rackspace Private Cloud simplifies installation by pre-configuring most common options, reducing some 2,000 variables to 10 installation steps for the controller node and seven steps for the compute node. This allows a company to launch OpenStack faster, and also means Rackspace has a known configuration, which simplifies its commercial support.
  • Rackspace now has its OpenStack-based public cloud service, Open Cloud, and private cloud software. Work still needs to be done to achieve a hybrid cloud model that will allow an enterprise to manage public- and private-cloud resources from a single management station and easily move VMs between them.
  • Rui Zhu on 06 Sep 12
     
    Rackspace updates its Private Cloud system which is more accessible, powerful, and secure. It plans to deliver two versions of this system-enterprise with installation fee and private for free. All of the most updated applications are involved in this system such as KVM hypervisor, Opscode Chef, Image Service, and more. The only missing application is openstack storage, which will be available next season. Compared with previous version or other comparable products, new Private Cloud is more accessible, powerful, and secure. For example, new users can install this software within seven steps no matter what system they have. Then they can share more than 2000 applications from rackspace, most of which are free for individual clients. In my opinion, the most innovative output of this update is the hybrid cloud model. It allows an enterprise to manage both public and private resources based on a single platform. Moreover, it is quite convenient for them to move VMs between that multi-based clouds. We can make a positive forecast that this application will be more mature after getting connected with OpenStack Storage. Thus, it is a good alternative for both individual and enterprise users seeking for secure network environment.

    Prospera Hospitality is a successful hospitality operator with 18 properties under the most recognized flags of the industry. In the article it is said that one of the reasons for this company's success is its centralized accounting software that allows them to create flexible financial reports. As different owners have different goals, thanks to its flexibility they are able to deliver them personalized reports. The software that is use by Prospera is Profitvue web-based enterprise accounting and performance management that generates individual and multi-property general ledger, enterprise resource planning, accounts payable, statistics, and financials. This software also generates side by side reports that help owners compare the performance of each hotel and identify problems or successful practices. Being a cloud based system creates a great number of advantages for this hospitality operator. As some of their properties are small with select services they don't have the resources to support on- property software. The software is installed on bigger properties and in the smaller ones only a PC with internet connection is needed.

    This article describes the destructive effects of cyber attacks on enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Because it does not have sufficient prevention and sufficient resources for disaster recovery. The most direct cause of current cyber attacks is that people open some risky websites or emails in the wrong place. For the hospitality industry, there is a large amount of customer privacy and sensitive information. Once attacked, its destructiveness is unimaginable. And to protect consumer data, most service industries just comply with local state laws, but most state laws have not made greater progress in information protection. Therefore, enterprises should protect themselves and their customers from cyber threats from the three aspects of their own network endpoints, disaster recovery and education.

The article continues to explain how the speed of IT should be as fast as possible unlike traditional single-speed delivery models that work well for high-torque enterprise operations did not work well for high-speed innovation. According to the article, a growing number of CIOs realize that projects often require additional gears that meet their specific needs and cadences. With investments in foundational and flexible procedural, architectural, and organizational domains, right-speed IT can help turn simplistic models and philosophical discussions into concrete value. In conclusion, CIOs are finding a balance between high torque enterprise IT and high-speed innovation IT can allow companies to optimize technology operations.

    Aptech Computer Systems, a provider of hospitality software and enterprise financial accounting, has developed a system that has the ability to help a hotel enterprise or the common Innkeeper.

Originally, they started working on interstate motel with their technology and from then on have been a huge success. I am sure people will be very sceptical when using this product because it is Web-based, however it does seem to be much easier to use and if something were to happen you have access to 24/7 customer service. For a business just starting out, this seems like a perfect tool.

    An advanced hospitality financial accounting system is launched by Aptech Computer Systems, which is a hospitality software and financial accounting company. The system is based on internet and can be used by both individual and multi-property hotel companies. The president of the company thinks that with the help of internet, hospitality staff can access to the tools more easily. Also, he has positive attitude towards using new technology by more hotels. There is also an example for the technology's expanding role in hospitality industry. Smith Travel sent its research reports from two to three weeks a time to once a day. I think a good accounting system is very important for a hotel. In the globalized world, many hotels expand themselves in the world, and this system can bring convenience to multi-property hotels.

    Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems were once referred to as manufacturing requirement planning (MRP) and were mostly comprised of supply ordering functions, but now consist of companyy-wide functions, such as finance/accounting, and even human resources compenents.  (Source: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/enterprise-resource-planning-ERP.html) This article discusses the leap ERP are taking to cloud-based software and the implications to consider.  This trend means that even small- to medium-sized business can have an ERP software to run their business, instead of (due to high cost associated with it) just large corporations.  Many are finding it beneficial, especially because it's customizable.  A business can choose which components they want or need the most instead of having to take on ones that wouldn't benefit them.  Although it's not as high a cost, it's still a cost, and the writer warns to consider business needs carefully before making the leap, giving extra considerations to the fact going fully Web-based is a security concern for any business.

The first point explains how there was a big trend towards cloud-only computing and away from on-premise infrastructure. We are realizing this isn't always the the best scenario and that a hybrid model allows for an enterprise to operate data-intensive processes while taking advantage of tech advancements associated with cloud computing. The second trend is utilizing "managed security service providers (MSSPs). This is because security is important to control both internally and externally. It also mentions "Zero-Trust Network Access" as a new executive order issued by President Biden. The third section discusses Kubernetes (Further research explained this is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.) Kubernetes is also known as "K8s." This is a large shift from physical on-site infrastructure to "containers." This is packaging software for the deployment and the sharing of technology. The reason this is a trend is because it is cost-effective and improves performance. The final major trend is sustainability efforts. Cloud technology is more energy-efficient than on-site infrastructure, but advancements in (IoT) is causing significant growth and use of cloud tech which requires increased energy consumption. Cloud vendors are changing to ensure they are using renewable energy, carbon offsets, and data center efficiency. The most interesting part of this to me is the Kubernetes and Containerization as I have yet to read or hear anything about this. Open source is always interesting. The story behind K8's being developed by Google and now an independent foundation is good for our society and a good trend.

    Some differences exist between organisations that run events for profit motives and those that are not-for-profit oriented. Government grants are seldom achievable by for-profit enterprises. Small scale events run by not-for-profit organisations are likely to be funded by participant fees. Larger scale events, whether run by for-profit or not-for-profit enterprises will likely need substantial support through commercial sponsorship. In many cases, fees paid by people who spectate can be a worthwhile source of income.

    This article highlights the fact that Carrier Enterprise is going to showcase its new money-saving HVAC and Energy Management Systems at the Asian American Hotel Owners Association trade show. Carrier enterprise is the leading provider of temperature and energy control technologies for commercial and residential properties. At the AAHOA trade show CE will be presenting its new hospitality-specific HVAC and energy saving systems. The new system is called E-TAC, Engineered Terminal Air Conditioner. The smart technology that E-TAC provides puts control of energy back into the hoteliers hands. The E-TAC is energy efficient, has a dry mode, maximum set point limits that can be preprogrammed. they are remote controlled, they have a sleep timer to save energy, and lastly, it has been implemented with silencing fan technology which is perfect for hotel guestrooms. Accompanying the E-TAC with Carrier Enterprise at the AAHOA trade show is their new P-TAC Air Purification System. This will eliminate unhealthy indoor environments while also reducing odor, air pollutants, smoke, mold, bacteria and viruses, and chemical odors. The Air Knight was specifically designed for HVAC units of hotels. I believe we will see both of these new technologies thrive in the near future.

    There is an information technology revolution that changed not only the economies of countries but also companies of all sizes everywhere. The development of information technology has become a very important component for the competitiveness of companies. The IT revolution has a big impact on the tourism industry and its management. Services are bought before time of their use and away from the place of consumption. Easy access to information and marketing are keys to the success of companies in the tourism industry. Computerized networks and electronic distributions have caused structural changes in the tourism industry. Computer Reservation System (CRS) is a data base program that helps tourism organizations to manage their inventory and make it accessible to their distribution channels partners. Airlines, hotels chains and tour operators are examples of users of the Centralize Reserve System. The growth of tourism demand has only been possible with the use of powerful CRSs.

It enables businesses to custom make and facilitates services. The World Wide Web helps distribution of multimedia information. Tourism enterprises will be able to communicate directly to their consumers and custom made the product according to their needs.
