In this article, I found out more about what An HRIS was. It stated that it is known as a human resource information system or human resource management system (HRMS). Basically an intersection of human resources and information technology through a HR software solution. This allows HR activities and processes to occur electronically.

HRIS will also lead to increases in efficiency when it comes to making decisions in HR.

An HRIS allows employees to exchange information with greater ease and without the need for paper through the provision of a single location for announcements, external web links, and company policies. This location is designed to be centralized and accessed easily from anywhere within the company, which also serves to reduce redundancy within the organization.
When a company invests in an affordable HRIS, it suddenly becomes capable of handling its workforce by looking at two of the primary components: that of payroll and that of HR. Beyond these software solutions, companies also invest in HRIS modules that help them put the full productivity of their workforce to use, including the varied experiences, talents, and skills of all staff within the enterprise.

It is important to choose the right HRIS. A company that takes the time to invest in an HRIS that fits their goals, objectives, mission, and values, is a company that is investing in its future and in its success. It will be necessary to customize any HRIS to the unique needs of a company so the system will remain flexible and relevant throughout the life of the company or enterprise.

This article talks about The two most interesting and challenging issues in hotel Property Management Systems (PMS) today are the ASP (Application Service Provider) model and enterprise systems that treat each property as an extension of the headquarter.

This portfolio of CRM techniques allows management to relate to guests on their terms and convert them from customers of a single hotel to customers of the company.

"The most important thing for the Valued Guest is that they get what they want.

This article talks about how green hotels in Asia are by no means a new concept, and is currently enjoying a period of profound evolutionary change in the way that its buildings are designed, constructed and operated. Sustainability Asia Pacific examines this trend, talks the companies behind some of the truly game-changing projects in the region and looks to what's ahead.
In Asia there are 13 LEED certified hotels, including 7 recent LEED for Existing Buildings Platinum projects in India, and a further 73 hotel projects across
the region have been registered with the USGBC that are pending award of certification.

Many hotels make the right noises about the environment but following through is rarely straightforward

Therefore, as a final footnote to this article, which necessarily infers a lot of onus is on the broader hotel industry
to put its house in order with respect to sustainability, it should be noted that
we all have a significant part to play in helping the hospitality sector to be more environmentally sustainable. Empowering decision makers within the hotel industry to move towards greener strategies can
be as simple leaving comments regarding green features or operational procedures you'd like to see on the in-room suggestion form. At a corporate level, more companies are choosing to require hotels to complete environmental surveys as part of their review for trips, events or corporate packages. If your company does not yet have one, the USGBC produces a good example available for download from its dedicated green hospitality web page - Green Venue Selection Guide (USGBC).

This article first talks about the benefits of participating in the GDS network.
How the GDS provides a perfect virtual marketplace for travel inventory sellers such as hotels, airlines, and car rental systems to showcase their wares to a global Internet travel audience.

The GDS is a natural outlet for hotels, resorts, and even smaller inns that want to increase revenue and online marketing exposure.

The GDS also allows independent properties a chance to offer special "dynamic packages" that include hotel, airfare, special events to their customers.

Second, Who the Global Distribution System best suited. For example,
The GDS is ideally suited for larger hotels and resorts located in desirable areas that have standard room types such as single rooms, queen rooms, king rooms, etc. Because the technology behind the GDS is older, there are limits on the total number of unit types that can be managed through the system.

The GDS was never really designed for vacation rental management or smaller bed and breakfasts that contain limited inventory. It is also best to realize that the GDS cannot create consumer demand, so businesses located in popular travel destinations will always have an advantage using the GDS over businesses located in rural or lesser-known geographical areas.

Next, GDS Payment Plan Options
The most common commission payment plan for GDS reservations is known as the "retail model." In this model, hotels and other resorts elect to pay 10% per GDS reservation to the travel agency or travel website that provided the customer reservation.

Also, How can a company get the most out of the GDS once they sign up.
Most companies that sell GDS services will assist you in making sure your property's best attributes are included in the GDS setup. Helping those companies on the set up such as making sure to list nearby attractions, hospitals, restaurants, etc. Travel agents often view property data in older, less graphical format, so knowing where you are located and what amenities are nearby, is important to the agents when searching for the best location for their travel client.

Final, this articles explains how The GDS network offers properties valuable marketing exposure on the various popular online travel websites and to over 600,000 travel agents worldwide. However, the GDS is only the "icing on the cake." Most properties will still get many more online reservations through their own website than they will from the GDS network. Therefore, to make sure that your company have a well designed website, easy to use navigation, allow potential customers to book online, and that your company hires a professional company to market the company's website. The practice of making travel arrangements online continues to grow. Make sure that your property combines GDS exposure with its own website booking engine to maximize online revenue.

This article talks about how technology developments continue at a relentless pace, it can be difficult for hotels, leisure providers and those in hospitality to keep up with recent changes, let alone look to the future. However, the savings and improvements that technology can deliver mean that managers and directors really need to keep one eye on these six trends.

1. Cloud / Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software delivered as a service, rather than held on premise is already a mainstream technology topic and despite being a new concept in the hospitality sector, it is already big news.

2.Mobility

Mobile is the new face of computing as devices such as tablets and smartphones revolutionise the way we interact with technology.

3.Social

Social media has had a profound impact upon the hospitality industry. For example, Trip Advisor has become one of the main sources of information for people researching holidays, hotels and leisure facilities.

4. Personalised systems

Customers expect their experience within a hotel to be totally personalised to them: from the welcome message on the television screen and food preferences to additional services such as personal training or flowers in the room.

5. Integration

Hotels span many functions - from accommodation and event catering to specialised facilities such as golf or health spas. Each of these areas has, traditionally, operated an individual software system.


6. Globalisation

The last major trend currently in the hospitality industry is globalisation. In the 21st century, hotel companies will need to adopt different management approaches to survive and develop amidst high levels of economic uncertainty. As international trade and business expand, there is no question that international links will become more important for the hotel industry. This means that the technology systems in use - especially those in large chains - must account for the global perspective.
