After working with an older Novell/Dos-based hotel application for numerous
years they saw the need for a new and modern system to help them in their
business. Although the old system was a good and stable product it did
not give them the flexibility they were looking for.
"We wanted a quick, reliable and easily maintained system that utilized
one database and interfaced with our other software and hardware solutions"
said Poul Ove Juul, the Hotel Manager of the hotel.
"We spent months looking for systems in the marketplace and we settled
for Visual One. It is a large system with all the facilities we need to
be able to increase the control of our business and hopefully sell even
more than we do today. We also expect to be able to simplify our operation
with Visual One. One of our goals is that everything about a function,
from the first sales call to the event itself, can be handled and organized
through Visual One", added Mr Juul.
"We have received professional and thorough help and support from the
sulcus hospitality group (the Visual One Distributor in Scandinavia) and
Visual One during the process. We have also been given the opportunity
to ask other Visual One clients of their experience with the product. After
very positive feedback from European colleagues and a site visit to the
UK we have high expectations of the Visual One software solution", concluded
Mr Juul.
Roar Hansen the MD of Sulcus Hospitality added, "We are delighted that
the Nyborg Strand have signed up for the Visual One System. There is a
growing demand for an established Windows based product in our region and
we expect many hotels to follow the Nyborg lead".
Mike Gadbury, Managing Director of Visual One said, "We have been working
hard on setting up a distribution network in Europe and we see this as
the first of many opportunities for our product in Scandinavia".
