Megasys is Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence!
We’re so excited! In 1989, a group of experienced hotel owners wanted to create property management software that actually worked the way they thought hospitality software should work. From those humble beginnings and ideas provided by other hoteliers over the years, Megasys has grown from a simple, yet sophisticated reservation system, to an easy to use, fully integrated, menu-driven, multi-company property management system. In our 20 year tenure, we have added applications designed to provide high-end hospitality management technology to independent, historic and boutique hotels, resort hotels, condominium properties, casino resort hotels and state parks for camping, cabins and resorts. All of these are based on the same simple purpose as our initial system; to develop a flexible property management software that worked the way people in the hospitality industry use it and make it available at reasonable rates.
Just as the technology industry has evolved over the last twenty years, the Megasys property management system has continually evolved so that our product has remained current with the latest technological advances. Utilizing the possibilities available through current technology, we converted our proven system to a GUI format with the familiar Windows look and feel, making it an even more efficient and powerful tool for property management. Portfolio HMS uses the capability of “point and click” navigation through user screens to obtain maximum efficiencies. With customizable menu tools such as the “Dashboard”, you can easily monitor the daily statistics that are relevant to your hotel operations, RevPar, ADR and Occupancy, to name a few and do so from anywhere on property or at a remote location through Internet accessibility.
Staying in tune with current technology and the needs of the hospitality industry, we were one of the first in the industry to acknowledge the developing need for stronger credit card security and began working on solutions. In 2007, our credit card interface became CISP, PCI and PABP compliant with our modifications and partnering with Shift4; $$$ In The Bank. Recognizing the growing needs associated with other areas in the hospitality industry, Megasys has completed development of an advanced Group and Event module that really has to be seen to be appreciated. This was developed with close guidance from our Conference and Event Center clientele. Also, in support of the Camp and Retreat segments, we’ve developed a new module: BackPack. This module provides unsurpassed efficiency in camper/bed management, maintaining data specific to the individual, their family, religious affiliations,activities, medical needs, funding sources and more. Another product we offer, which is completely integrated, is MegaTouch our stand alone POS system. All of the products and modules are fully integrated, using a single database and single source. For external processes, such as Call Accounting, PBX, Player Tracking, we have an extensive list of certified interfaces that connect all parties to our single solution.
Megasys has been privileged to welcome and retain many clients over the twenty years. Our clients range from 15 room hotels to over 3,000 rooms. No matter the size of the property, our clients are very important to us and appreciated. They are not recognized as a number in our organization, they are our partners. Our clients are a broad range of market segments; Ski, Beach Resorts, Independent and Historic Hotels, Casino Resorts, State Park Resorts and our latest segment, Camps, Conference Centers, and Retreat Facilities. In 2008 alone, we installed Portfolio HMS to over 60 current clients and welcomed new clients; Alabama State Parks, Glen Eyre Conference Center, Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center and Lake Williamson Conference Center, Ashton Hotel, Cimarron Hotel and Suites, Chalkboard Restaurant, Hudson Valley Resort and Spa and Foxwoods Resort and Casino who re-joined us and added the new MGM Foxwoods to their multi-property organization. We know our success is based on our client’s successes, so their business is our biggest priority.
Last but certainly not least, is our management team and support staff. Customer service is possibly the most important tool a software company can provide its clients. In June 1998, Mark Jewart joined Megasys as a Help Desk programmer and over the past 11 years has worked in all areas of the company. He accepted the role of company President in 2007, where he implemented changes based on all his experiences with Megasys into the organization’s structure, to ensure that client satisfaction would be the number one priority. Through his leadership and vision the company has and will continue to make great strides in the hospitality industry. We are pleased to say, 2008 has been our most successful year and has brought tremendous growth to our company. Because of the growth in our client base and the need to add more staff, we are celebrating the New Year and our 20th anniversary by moving into a new facility with growth potential for 2009 and beyond!
In the economic times ahead, we understand pockets will be tight and sacrifices will be made. Hotels will forego technology to maintain bottom line results, hoping their current system will get them by. Megasys is aware of your needs. We will continue to make enhancements based on our clients input, and with industry feedback, in order to keep our products flexible and full of features, along with keeping our products affordable, especially for those making sacrifices. We are committed to our current and future clients and strive to provide the best services and products available. Our goal is to provide the most cost effective technology in the industry to help you manage and track cost and stay within your budgets, and enable you to compete in the industry. If there is only one thing you take away from reading this article, we would hope that it would be that Megasys Hospitality Systems is committed to your success, now and for years to come. Call Megasys today and let us see what we can do for you. You don’t have to sacrifice!
