  • Orlando, FL (1888PressRelease) April 02, 2014 - On April 9 from 9am Merlin's Mike Ashton will be joining the ARDA IT Smorgasbord panel considering how much of this function should be kept in house and how much to hand off to third party specialists.

    In the convention's exhibition hall, the Merlin team will be demonstrating the software directly from the company's booth (#936).

    "Anyone with an interest in cloud computing can pop by and we'll show how easy it is to run your entire resort operation in the cloud - and the cost and operational benefits of this form of technology," explained Mike Ashton.

    One of the most important elements of Merlin today is Merlin Member Interactive which is functionality that allows owners to transact online directly from a resort's website - with Merlin capturing all the data to a single database for resort staff to access.

    With a Merlin Member Interactive page, members can:

    • Login to their personal account
    • Change their personal details
    • View their ownerships
    • Check availability
    • Make and amend reservations
    • Bank/deposit and rent their weeks
    • Order additional services
    • Update their travel arrangements
    • Pay management fees

    New for 2014 is Merlin's web services programme with an advanced application-programming interface (API) that allows greater integration with third-party systems.

    This enables companies with skilled IT departments to build custom applications and employ Merlin technology to gain greater control of the construction and optimisation of their websites.

    "We've built a supercar and we know it works. Now we're giving resorts access to all its parts, so they can build their own according to their specifications," added Mike Ashton.
