One obstacle faced by small and medium hotels is that the typical PMS and PBX are expensive and the integration of these units are difficult and result in expensive integration and maintenance. Skymid's unique Hosted Hotel Management solution is mainly targeted at small to medium size hotels. The solution consist of PMS , PBX and Wifi core network built together so that no integration is required between these nodes. System is fully hosted in Skymid IDC and each hotel is logically separated and managed by Skymid. This result in reduced capex for hotels and pay for the features and capacity they really used.
