Introduction:
The technology development in the daily life has made relevant changes that are
affecting the working and management system more efficient and improved. The introduction
of new technologies are making the working system more organized and systematic thus
resulting to further development and betterment in the entire process (Kim & Feamster,
2013). The study will discuss about one such technology advancement and its implication in
the hotel management system. The opera software that is one of the popular and prominent
software will be used to manage the rooms in a hotel, that skills the hotel manager will use to
use the software in the management process, the implication and benefit of the software,
drawback of the software will be discussed in the study.
What is the software about?
The opera software is a Norwegian company that was initially known for the desktop
and mobile browser. They have more than 350 million users all across the world with
multiple platforms for usage (Molland & Bersvendsen, 2014). It is also involved in
promoting Web standards with the participation of W3C. The company progressed from its
initial standard to mobile browser in the year 2005. A new java ME based browser was
introduced for mobile phones. After a collaboration and development of new technologies in
the system finally in the year 2017 the company had introduced Opera Neon.
How it benefits the users?
Opera browser is free and makes the browsing faster even when the connection is
slow and weak. It has speed dial and is available for Linux, where the searching can be
customized. Opera had made a momentous change by shifting to chromium engine form their
own one. The Google and Opera forked together to create a new blink engine that removes
some parts but let the companies like opera perform more than their limited self -features and

4ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
also helps them to grow and expand (Jonsdottir, 2013). Opera feel similar to chrome for
rendering, however it can build off the web engine to do their unique thing. They also have a
record of bringing different features that are copied to compete the rival browsers like Pop-up
blocking, private browser session and speed dialling. Opera has a host feature that set it in a
different part from the other browser pack. It is making a huge wave in the browsing industry,
however, initially it did not have that supremacy in this industry but with the latest
developments the browser industry is finding its own way in the market (Kim & Feamster,
2013). The study will in detail the advantages and disadvantages of this software, it will also
discuss about the usefulness of this technology in hotel management as in room division
management.
Discussion:
Quality of reflective analysis on benefit and drawback of opera:
The software is one of the leading brand in browsing industry. Initially it did not have
that supremacy in the market, however with time it developed its own skill and improved the
earlier skills for a better technology. The advantages for using this technology are as follow:
Speed: in comparison to browsers like Firefox and internet explorer the Opera makes a better
performance in case of searching pages. Even in case of cold and warm start the opera is
beating the other competitive browsers like Firefox and internet explorer. The speed distance
actually makes a sense and is noticeable easily (Uhlmann, Otto & Geisert, 2013). Thus if the
user is speed junk then they must use the Opera software for browsing.
Speed dial: speed dial plays a vital role in the entire browsing technology and it makes a
prominent mark in case of featuring a browser or analysing it capability for usage. The
widgets are useful and are also for fun at times, they are very to install and use. The speed
dial determines the preference for the software. The software that has to be used must fill this

5ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
criteria of the users then only they will use the technology, however, in this case the users
would readily accept this technology as they are providing with a high range of speed dial.
Widget: the opera widget are like the steroid having Firefox extension (Geelnard, 2014). The
widget re like the evolution of the web. Some of the widgets are useful and some are just for
fun. They are also very easy to install.
Wand: they are always concerned about saving the password and information about the user
and always asks then too whether they are interested to save it or not. The software is always
concerned about the security measure of the user. Whenever the user is saving any
information then they are able to see a yellow border that is appearing around the form. Thus
they assure the user a safe and secured technology system.
Notes: whenever the user is interested or desires to browse and also take notes at the same
time on a page or site the Opera is available with a complete note. These notes can be
accesses using the tool menu and then click on the notes. The tool itself is very simple to use
and is also handy at the same time.
The software is incredibly making changes and developing its skill to attract the user
and become more user friendly, however there are few drawbacks that are related to this
software as well:
It requires a very strict adherence to coding for proper operation: they do not have a
good record doing a proper coding for the software thus they face issues regarding it from
time to time. The cookies are tracked as site specific and the HTML is strictly read by the
browser. Thus the users might find it difficult to compromise with this software as they can
see that what works on Chrome and Firefox is not working in opera.
The web developing companies do not consider the software to be a high standard
software: the community has choice preference of many companies that are providing the
web connection. There are many other tough and competitive software in the market that are

6ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
becoming a threat to the company and thus the software is becoming a low priority for
companies that are related to web development.
The extensions that are built in the software are not easy to find: the web browser is
specifically designed for users who have a good knowledge about the hardware and software
application. The basic knowledge to access internet might not be affective for a user to
operate this software. The user needs to have a proper concept about the hardware and
software application for access this system.
It can offer users too many choices at times: the software is providing many choices in
which way they experience the internet. The system can be negative at times and be
threatening to software in the market. There is a curve line that must be followed while using
the opera so that even when the user is not prepared f r this it can be taken back to something
more comfortable.
Analysis on the useful function:
Remotely debugging mobile websites using android phone: they have a special
feature to debug a page on another instance of Opera Mobile. This actually tries to mean that
the benefit that the user is receiving form inspecting elements on the desktop can be done
with the usage of the Android phone. The user can have a full array of debugging that is
inspecting elements, checking the CSS that is being applied to the elements, changing the
CSS in real time.
Separating and grouping the local, staging and live tabs for the site: they have the option fo r
grouping the tabs on the basis of their versions, some of them can be local, some for staging
and some can be for live site too (Uhlmann, Otto & Geisert, 2013). Thus keeping a track of
such can be really difficult, however, the software has to option to group all the tabs in
various ways including grouping all the local, staging and live tabs in their own respective

7ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
groups which makes the management easier. The confusion is omitted from the entire
scenario and the user can easily manage and handle the entire process in a better manner.
Validating local web: the W3C validator is the basic place to validate the web page however
the user cannot pass in the URL to the validator. The right click menu in Opera allows it to
simply right click any page and then click validate. Then the software will automatically post
the HTML to the validator and then get an instant result from them (Jonsdottir, 2013). Thus
the entire process becomes more easy and simple with this software and this also not
available in the chrome and Firefox where the official W3C validator is allowed to be
accessed.
Site specific preferences: sometimes the user might wish to have a different setting for the
web site where the user is working presently. The user might desire to use a more liberal
cookie policy or include flash content on the developing site. The other browser will have to
set multiple instances or install addons, however for the Opera browser this requires only a
set of arrays where only by right clicking the page and selecting the site it can be done easily.
Cross browser testing: it is very important that is when developing a particular page it is very
useful to open the page in an array of browsers to check the consistent. The opera software
will automatically search for other browsers installed in the users system and give an
immediate access to open the current URL in that. Then it will launch an instance of the
selected browser that is already landed on the right page.
Summary of the technology:
The opera software has become the cutting edge in the browsing technology and is
leading s a pioneer in HTML rendering. It had become the leading mobile browsing brand in
various phones in the market. Google shot the market by implementing their own strategies
and skill to the industry, however, proper strategy and development skill can get back the
condition of the company (Kim & Feamster, 2013). They must find their scope for further

8ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
development not only be getting a recognition as a browsing company but also by finding an
ability to integrate their skills in mobile advertisement, data optimization, video sharing.
Recently the company has seen a declination in their market value which has reduced their
share value in comparison to the other browsing companies present in the market.
The company is trying to find a better scope for their market up rise and make
changes that would make the company move in a progressive direction. The introduction of
Neon, Opera that have decided to challenge the present competitive browsers in the market.
They consider that the Neon provides an experience with neat animation that will make it
look more robust and will not affect the speed (Molland & Bersvendsen, 2014). It has an
intuitive design which uses the desktop background as the start page and give a transparent
look.
The software is used in management system that benefits the working of the
organization this making it more convenient to handle by the managers and the users. The
following paragraphs will discuss about the use of this technology in hotel management
system. The software is used for room division management that will benefit the hotel:
Room management:
Opera hotel management system: it is a system that is suitable for the management of
all sizes and type that will accommodate all types of facilities. It saves lot of time as it
automates the entire process in the front office and does the work itself. The time consuming
works like reservation, check-in and check-out minimizes the human errors and gives exact
results. The work system becomes more accurate and perfect in comparison to manual work.
This way the organization can organize the entire work process and make it work in a more
swift and desired manner (Baum, Bertsimas & Kallus, 2014). The use of this technology
makes the entire working system fast and smooth. The business organization can also identify

9ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
their failures and risk and take necessary measures that will help the organization to work in
an efficient manner.
Hotel guest cycle:
The hotel guest cycle involves four levels such as :
Pre-arrival- this phase determines the time before reaching the place the guest is selecting a
hotel and decides to stay at that particular place. The hotel is completely responsible for
welcoming the guest and making them comfortable at the premise.
Arrival- after arrival the hotel the guest is official moving on to the hotel as a guest. This
stage is the beginning of the behaviour of the hotel authority that will determine that how
well the organization can manage the guest.
Occupancy this is the period when the guest is staying at the hotel and thus making an idea
about the working of the organization.
Departure- this period is the time when the guest is leaving the place with a certain
recommendation and review about the organization.
Development of training program in hotel among the employees:
The opera cloud service can be implemented for maintaining a well framed hotel
management program in the hotel. The use of cloud technology will help the company to
record and share the data in the cloud system thus enhancing a better scope to serve the
customers. The E commerce introduction to business has increased the scope of competition
in every business thus if the businesses are coming up with new strategies that includes the
cloud computing program, it is expected that the organization will be benefitted (Anjaneyulu
& Sanyasirao, 2014). The manager can implement the use of cloud technology that will help
the management system in the following ways:
 Better scope of interaction among the customers and the business authority

10ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT

Thus if the workers are trained with this facility then they can use the technology to make
the entire system easier and smoother. They can meet the guest expectations easily and thus
improve the business.
 Benefits that they will get will be:
 Serving the customers from anywhere and everywhere with mobile enavles
property.
 Improving the ADR with enhanced control of rates

Analysis of emerging technologies impacting the management of room division
operation:
The opera cloud service is a flexible and secured mode of technology that will help the
hotel operations to give their best performance to the customers. It provides core property
management that helps the business organization to manage their skills in a better and
efficient way.
Room division management describes the situation when the authority is housekeeping,
front office, maintenance, security in the hotels. These areas are the vital part in the room
division management part and thus brings revenue to the organization. Their main focus is to

11ROOM DIVISION MANAGEMENT
create revenue with a proper management system. The opera software is used by the hotels to
use the technology to maintain and conduct a proper session in this sectors and provide a
standard service to the customers (Walker & Walker, 2016). The technology advancement
makes the hospitality business more appealing and attractive thus attracting the customers
from various areas. The end result that are seen after implementing the cloud Opera

Thus if the organization is using this technology then it is expected that they will be
able to mitigate the mentioned areas and give their best performance to the customers.
Discussion of a technology that might help the room division management:
The technology that can be implemented to improve the management system in a
hotel is the introduction of the customer communication app. This app will be designed in a
specific manner that will help the organization to communicate with the customer in fluent
way. The app will add the customer who will be availing the hotels service and leave the app
after leaving the hotel. The app will update the customer about the vacancy if the rooms in
