This article summarizes the predicted trends of human resource technology in companies and businesses, such as the hospitality field. Within the article, it is clear that mobile devices and cloud systems are dominant and will continue to be undeniably relevant, as well as contribute to the rise in this convenient technology. The article suggests, " After a recession-induced spending diet, companies will once again start budgeting for HR software upgrades." As it was mentioned in the online lecture, investing in this technology has proved to be worth it because of the seamless coordination among different departments that it offers. I feel that this coordination contributes to preventative maintenance. The article also states, "As the workplace goes virtual, look for increased use of video job interviews and videoconferencing, which is dropping in price. Collaboration software, such as Yammer, Chatter and Jive and other online tools that enable the virtual workforce to get the job done are also on the rise." Overall, I feel that Human Resource Information Systems are something that need to be implemented in the hospitality industry because of the benefits it offers regarding maintaining the fluidity of the way things are run.

"Tripleseat, a cloud-based Sales and Event Management application for the Hospitality Industry, announced they have recently achieved the milestone of having over 400 restaurants, hotels and unique venues as customers."

Jonathan Morse founded Tripleseat after realizing that the pen and paper method to event management was entirely cumbersome to profit, sales, and convenience. He knew that there had to be a better way to coordinate efforts.

"The event business is a $26 billion a year industry and it is being run on post it notes and ad hoc technology. To fix the problem, I had to develop a easy-to-use, no hardware/software solution that was fast and intuitive."

Tripleseat covers a wide range of events and simplifies the overall event planning process by having everything readily available in its cloud-based system. The goal of Tripleseat is to take the complications and worry brought on by mass amounts of paperwork, and direct that attention to sales.
