protel Hotelsoftware and IDeaS Revenue Optimization complete Integration
10 March 2005

Munich and Dortmund, Germany and Minneapolis Minnesota -- IDeaS, the leading provider of hospitality revenue optimization solutions and one of the industry’s fastest growing technology companies today announced that it had completed its integration with protel Hotelsoftware.

protel is a well-recognized, world-wide supplier of property management and other hotel systems. With the integration, the companies’ mutual clients benefit from the teaming together of two widely used solutions. This news is especially relevant for the European market where both solutions have significant client base.

“We are very excited about this new integration with protel for a variety of reasons,” said Uli Pillau, IDeaS Managing Director EAME. “IDeaS is the most widely installed Revenue Optimization system in Europe but until today protel client hotels were excluded from the benefits of using the IDeaS solution. protel’s client hotels now have the opportunity to leverage the IDeaS solution for greater revenues through a fast and easy to deploy interface.”

Manfred Osthues, Managing Director and Founder of protel added: “Many protel clients have been anticipating this integration due to their strong reputation and the proven revenue management value they are delivering. As one of the most progressive property management systems on the market our integration with IDeaS was just a logical step to serve our clients more completely.”

The integration will specifically allow users of the protel property management system (PMS) to easily introduce IDeaS Revenue Optimization system into their environment. The first hotel to take advantage of the joint integration will be the Best Western Hotel-Airport Munich.

“protel’s PMS is nicely designed to offer their clients a logical way to incrementally roll-out revenue management based on the hotel’s business practices. Hoteliers looking for an affordable stepped approach to installing revenue management will find that this flexible system will allow it,” said Linda Hatfield, Vice President of Product Management for IDeaS. “At the same time, clients who want to take advantage of full automation will find they are well-served as well.”
