Homestyle Hotels Inc. is a company that formed from the uniting of Lifestyle Resorts and Home-Away Hotels. Before this uniting every hotel has their own hardware and software to keep data of their customers. Even Lifestyle Resorts and Home-Away Hotels didn’t have a centeral system to check and compare data. Hotel managers were responsible for pricing and customer information.

They decided to have a software and force hotels to comply its data definitions.
This method is not really a wise choise for a company which tries to create a national brand. They already had meetings about their needs, they determined the problems, but they search solution from some other company’s impositions. A major brand need its own solutions for different situations. At the end they came up with two different softwares; Hotels Confidential which has good information protection and Clear Reservation which has beter managment applications. They arrenged presentations from both software companies.
