Case Study: Encore Enterprises, Inc. achieves disaster‑resilient, cloud‑based hotel accounting and 50% IT reduction with M3

Turning to the Cloud When Disaster Strikes

Encore Enterprises, Inc., a private real estate acquisition and hotel management company, suffered catastrophic damage to its Biloxi offices during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which disrupted IT operations and interrupted outsourced hotel accounting. Seeking a more resilient, scalable and cost-effective accounting platform, Encore evaluated alternatives and selected M3, adopting M3 Accounting Analytics and Accounting Core to replace its costly on‑site hardware, custom software and fragile offshore-dependent model.

M3 implemented private, cloud-based hosting and its hotel accounting solutions, enabling Encore to downsize its IT team by 50%, reduce offshore accounting to a few remote associates, and achieve 0 scheduled downtime with redundant data storage. Encore Enterprises, Inc. gained improved disaster resilience, reporting and document retrieval at a lower cost thanks to M3’s solution.
