IRM Updated to Use .Net Technology
For the last 12 years, one of the most important products at
RDP has been the Internet Reservation
Module (IRM). The IRM allows millions of potential
guests, groups, travel agents, and wholesalers to check availability
and make commission-free reservations 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. The IRM is designed to work in conjunction with your existing
marketing website. Reservations are stored immediately in the same
database as normal "phone-in" reservations, with one database for
true "last room" availability. We are in the process of enhancing
the IRM with a new version, called "IRM.Net".
Some of our customers have really outdone themselves with their
marketing site in conjunction with IRM.Net. To see some customer
websites that really look great and to see what IRM.Net can do for
your, see
IRM.Net Customer List.
See "IRM.Net Upgrades
for Current RDP Customers".
