You can develop on it very rapidly, and it's clearly more flexible. Also, Internet developers are more comfortable with it. Online Registrations and More Working with Aris, an Internet development firm and Microsoft Certified Partner, Marriott created a Web site that provides easy access to a wealth of information and services. For example, users can quickly put together a list of hotels in Phoenix that have a business center, in-room data ports, and nearby access to golf. From there, one click is all it takes to access detailed information about any hotel on the list.
Additional pages describe nearby shops, restaurants, and attractions.
Once they've found the right hotel for their needs, users can easily check availability and reserve a room. The same basic infrastructure also allows people to book rooms at Marriott hotels through TravelWeb and other popular online distribution services. In addition to online booking functionality, the Marriott Web site also provides tools to help meeting planners put together their next event. Users can search for hotels by location, amenity number of available guest and meeting rooms, and meeting room dimension and capacity. The Marriott site suggests appropriate properties and provides detailed meeting room floor plans.
