Nice but pricey
This software is nice and can make things easier and more organized. However, everything has a fee associated with it and in the end the price of everything makes it not worth it for me.
Advice to Others
Give it a try to see if it works for you and see what fees it has

Our Company has been using Skyware for several years now and have it at both of our properties. Our front desk staff likes how simple it is to use and navigate through the system. We have not experienced long down times in the past and look forward to continued business with Skyware.

The Skyware product is easy to use, learn, and teach others. While there are a couple frustrating things such as non-alphabetized menus, and tabbing orders that are not sequential, these are minor issues and can be over come.
We have been very pleased with the ability of the system and were able to take a group of untrained employees new to the hotel industry and have them functional and working in a very short amount of time.
Skyware has outstanding customer service and they have felt much more like a partner than just another vendor.
I would highly recommend their software for both small independent hotels and large chains.
Pros
User Friendly
Easy to learn the system
Price point is fair
Multiple options for in house or hosted on their servers
Company is very proactive in helping their customers
Good training and it can easily be done with the trainer remote (if you have internet access)
Ability to customize and build your own reports
Works with an Internet Browser
Multiple security groups (easy to implement)
Cons
Menu Items are hard to find at times (should be in alphabetical order)
Tabbing is not consistent (you do not always go to the next field)
