Web Based VS On-Site Systems

Web based or not – there are pros and cons to both sides of the debate.

“When it goes down everything stops, and it happens at least once a week”

“Its not always because our internet is down where we are. Sometimes their internet (the web based software company’s) is down and somethimes they are having problems with their computers”

These are quotes from the rental manager at a large V.R.M.* firm on Ocean Isle Beach using web based software. This company maintains both DSL and Cable internet (with the attendant monthly expense) and still “everything stops” at least once a week. They have had their reservations, housekeeping and guest history records unavailable, for many hours (even days) at a time during busy times including the 4th of July weekend. When this happens making reservations, checking guests in and out, even accounting comes to a halt.

There are pros and cons to both sides of the “Should I go web based or not” debate, but with Nexus you get the security and stability of having your software right there onsite with you while having the convenience of being able to come into your system remotely, securely to be able to manage your business from anywhere with internet access.

Of course if the internet is down you would lose that ability and your online booking will be down, however your business remains up and running able to make phone reservations, checking guests in and out, housekeeping and guest history records remain available, even accounting continue to function.
