The OPERA Enterprise Solution is a fully integrated suite of products consisting of modules that can be easily added or expanded, allowing effective and easy deployment from smaller operations to global, multi-branded hotel chain environments. Hotels can deploy OES with just the Front Office module or they can integrate Sales & Catering, Revenue Management, Quality Management, Back Office, Materials Management and other applications. In addition, the OPERA Enterprise Solution offers products for corporate management, including the Central Reservations System for centralized guestroom and function space sales, and the Enterprise Information System, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) package specifically designed for the hotel industry.
"MICROS-Fidelio's comprehensive OPERA system offers Apex Hotels an integrated solution to our PMS, CRS, Sales and Yield Management requirements," stated Chris Lynch, Director of Sales & Marketing for Apex Hotels. "Whilst establishing a Head Office and a Central Reservations Department, plus preparing to open new properties, it was important for us to choose a supported and integrated set of products. MICROS-Fidelio satisfied these requirements and we look forward to their installation."
Frank Ward, Managing Director of MICROS-Fidelio Limited UK, said, "We are delighted Apex Hotels has chosen MICROS-Fidelio as their information technology partner. The Opera Enterprise Solution takes guest service and recognition to the highest level and provides outstanding opportunities to enhance communication, revenue generation, and corporate management."
