NEW YORK— Metropolis Technologies, a hospitality call accounting manufacturer, has initiated a competitive upgrade program that will allow customers of @Comm (formerly Xiox), Homisco and XETA Technologies to upgrade to ProfitWatch free of charge. Metropolis is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with this upgrade program and the release of ProfitWatch Version 7.0. “We have spoken with many users of competing products who want to move to ProfitWatch but are unable to justify abandoning their existing license investments given the current market impact on IT spending,” said Erynn Dalton, vp of sales and marketing. “We believe that this anniversary program will make it easier for hotels to justify their migration to ProfitWatch and will satisfy the requirements of both the IT managers who want our product, and general managers who are balancing investment priorities against newly-constrained budgets.” To participate in this offer, users must supply a copy of a competitors valid maintenance agreement and purchase one year of Metropolis support. Support prices begin at $445 per year and eligible users will receive a free ProfitWatch 7.0 license. Eligible Competitor License Programs include: @Comm (formerly Xiox Corporation)—CommView, Prophet, Summa and Lodging series; Homisco—TCS series; and XETA Technologies—XL, Virtual XL series.
