Maritim Hotels to Roll-Out IDeaS Revenue Optimization to Thirteen Hotels
10/09/06: IDeaS announced that Maritim Hotels, one of Germany’s largest hotel chains, has signed a deal with IDeaS to install IDeaS v5i revenue optimization solution at thirteen of its hotels in key destinations including Berlin, Bremen, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart, Dresden, Bonn, Hamburg, Hannover, Nürnberg and Düsseldorf.
The selection of IDeaS came after a lengthy pilot program where Maritim evaluated products from three different vendors at three of its hotels over an 18 month time period.
“As we wrapped up our selection process there were several aspects of the IDeaS solution that made them our choice,” said René Halla, Director Global Sales for Maritim Hotels. “Because we have a large estate of dispersed hotels, ASP deployment became a requirement. Secondly, we were really pleased with the speed with which we could deploy the solution in our hotels and the fact that solution is upgraded 4 times a year with those upgrades incorporating client requests. Finally, the superiority of the IDeaS solution gave us the best results.”
“Maritim’s lengthy review process gave the IDeaS team a significant amount of time to understand the specific environment and further tune the use of the product to Maritim’s unique needs and requirements,” said Fabian Specht, Director of Business Development & Distribution, EAME for IDeaS.
