Updates from SMS Surrounding COVID-19

Stowe, VT – August 2020

A message from Robert Selwah, President of Springer Miller Systems

Like all of you, both personally and professionally our lives continue to be dominated by the COVID19 pandemic and the anxiety of the unknown. Arguably, no other industry has been hit as hard as the hotel & travel industry has. However, I am pleased to see promising signs of revival, as our customers pivot and adjust. Properties are beginning to re-open, and welcome guests back, albeit with some operational changes and challenges. We have seen our customers use this time to invest in their people, with training and new software that aides the team to operate in the new normal. I remain hopeful and motivated by the success stories of our customers. We are in this together, and the collaboration and support of the user community has been impressive to witness. I invite you to take advantage of our Customer Community – this is a free resource and channel to you and your team and a space for discussion and a wealth of information. You can sign up here for your free access.

As an organization, I am equally as impressed with the resilience of our business and employees alike. Overnight, we essentially transitioned our worldwide Springer-Miller Systems operations to a work-from-home model. At this time our offices are slowly opening back up where it is warranted and safe, and the team continues to make me proud as they find creative ways to collaborate and execute. SMS is committed to our goal of being the best partner and technology provider that we can to our loyal customers. As a business, we are motivated by our customer community and eager to deliver solutions.

At this time, all in person events remain postponed, cancelled, or have transitioned to virtual. An important annual event I encourage you to attend virtually is the Host Users Group Conference. For over three decades our user group community has planned and hosted this event, this year is no different – just virtual! Please visit the HUG webpage for more information.

On behalf of the entire Springer Miller Systems team, please take care and stay safe. We are in this together!

Rob Selwah | President of Springer-Miller Systems
