NORTHWIND Maestro's consistent innovations drive productivity and revenue

"In 1978 NORTHWIND opened its doors as a custom software developer, and we continue to innovate in a spirit of broadly applicable software with personalization to meet the unique requirements of each of our hundreds of clients," said Warren Dehan, President of NORTHWIND-Maestro PMS. "We initially provided RISC-based systems to a large North American luxury chain. We launched Maestro after that, then transitioned to Windows and other platforms, and later carried users past the Y2K challenge. Today, our clients have burgeoning requirements and we are expanding with them into the 21st Century. We truly understand the independent hotel industry and how to develop effective systems; this is an important combination. We now offer 21 modules that are fully integrated within Maestro PMS which creates a seamless operating, marketing, and data collection platform. This all-in-one system solution enables operators to improve operating efficiency, drive greater revenue, increase staff productivity, and personalize guest service."

Dehan noted that NORTHWIND's stability comes from being financially responsible and having a personal commitment in each client's success. Jacob and Nora Dehan founded NORTHWIND in 1978. Warren and his sister, Audrey, oversee operations today. Warren's son and daughter are also involved in the company and a majority of key employees have been there for over 15 years. "Our very first hotel client is still a Maestro user and they have never had to repurchase new system software. Over the years, NORTHWIND provided all upgrades within the scope of their original maintenance agreement," Dehan said.

"NORTHWIND's team really cares and has always been there to help us"

NORTHWIND's first resort client was Bayview Wildwood Resort in Ontario, Canada. "In the early 1980s our family believed that computerization was the future of successful hotel operations," said Dianne (Stanton) Hounsome, General Manager of Bayview Wildwood Resort. "NORTHWIND was the only company that would work with us to create a hotel system to help us run our business as we wanted. Our original NORTHWIND system was on an IBM RISC computer the size of a dishwasher that had 40mb of disk. To this day, we call the same support phone number if we have questions. It has never changed, and NORTHWIND's team has always been there to help us."

"We have seen many PMS software companies come and go during our 35 year history, and I attribute our longevity to our forward thinking and can-do attitude," Dehan said. "We continue to be a modern, innovative company in-part because we are multi-generational, and in-part as a result of the great team of hospitality people who make up NORTHWIND. Our combined years of hospitality experience and fresh outlook on what affects hoteliers today keeps NORTHWIND looking forward to emerging technologies that allow Maestro PMS to keep our users competitive."
