IDeaS and CMS reached agreement on the technology alliance following detailed discussions at the 2004 HITEC trade show held in Dallas, Texas.

"We have been actively looking for a revenue management partner for the last 6 months," said Brian Manning, Managing Director at CMS Hospitality.

They offer market leadership along with a proven global track record and a strong local presence in the Asia Pacific region."

"CMS's GuestCentrix Hospitality software has been deployed very successfully throughout the region," said Grahame Tate, Managing Director of IDeaS in Asia Pacific.
