Aloha everyone,
One of the most challenging things we face as innkeepers is the prospect of making changes. It can be scary and difficult to know if you are making a good choice. That can be complicated by the large investment in time and money that is often involved when we decide to make a change. It is often easier to play it safe. Finding reviews, examples, or the experiences of other innkeepers can be difficult. It shows why this forum is so helpful.
I have been very grateful for this forum. It has given me a lot of information. My goal with this topic is to try to put some sunshine on the process of switching. In my case, I am going to switching from REZOVATIONS GT to RESERVATIONS NEXUS. I want to try to share my experience as best as I can with as little prejudice as possible.
As we all know, there are many 100% satisfied customers with both products. Our circumstances are singular and there is no need to make a lot of general assumptions. It is really just an effort to take the mystery out of the process.
Step One
I got on this forum and asked for some feedback from anyone who wanted to share about the program I was considering switching to. I sorted through what folks had to say and concluded that it was worth more investigation.
Step Two
I went to sites for my current system and the potential new one and reviewed both. I compiled what I thought was a fairly accurate side by side chart and posted it here for more review. Again, with all the selling removed, it was starting to look like we might be better off with the advantages we favored in the new software. In comparing the price, they seem to be similar.
Step Three
I contacted Res Nexus and spoke with a representative. I learned that the actual discontinuation of a computer based program and the start up for a web based program was not very complicated. It requires removing the link that makes me live at REZ GT and replacing it with the Res Nexus link. Since it is web-based, there is no software to set up. At this point, their service agent will train me on the program and how it functions.
more to come
