Hotel Technology Next Generation

Scott Downes, Regional Finance Director Orient Express Hotels, explains "The IDeaS Revenue Optimization Solution provides us with the functionality we need at The Observatory Hotel. Their local presence in Australia as well IDeaS being a specialist Revenue Optimization Company had a large influence in our decision. We are going through a significant technology upgrade and have also selected the OPERA PMS to which IDeaS interfaces. With these two systems combined, we look forward to significant improvements all round".

Grahame Tate, Managing Director of Asia Pacific for IDeaS Revenue Optimization said "Its great to have the Observatory Hotel join our group of delighted clients. The Observatory is an icon in Sydney and we look forward to working closely with the team there on this important project. The Hotel completed a significant amount of due diligence and their best of breed approach validates the importance of Revenue Optimization as a specialized field."
