Hilton International Installs IDeaS

IDeaS, the leading provider of hospitality revenue optimization solutions
and one of America`s fastest growing technology companies, announced today
the installation of IDeaS in three new Hilton International properties.
These installations are a part of a continuing rollout of IDeaS Revenue
Optimization Solution in Hilton International properties worldwide.

“Automated revenue optimization has been an integral part of Hilton
International`s revenue strategy for many years,” comments Tim Davis,
Senior Vice President of Distribution and eCommerce with Hilton
International. “When we selected IDeaS as our revenue optimization
provider in 1997, we knew we had found a long term partner to help us
execute and achieve our goals. Hilton International maintains a close
partnership with IDeaS and we have confidence in their solutions and their
outstanding team.”
Hilton International began their rollout of IDeaS Revenue Optimization
Solution in 1997 with the installation of IDeaS in The London Hilton on
Park Lane and the Hilton Brussels and has since installed IDeaS in 82
properties worldwide. Most recently, IDeaS has installed its solution at
NICON Hilton Abuja in Nigeria, as well as the Hilton Sandton and the
Hilton Durban in South Africa. In the coming months, Hilton International
is scheduled to install IDeaS at the Hilton Athens as well as five Scandic
hotels, a mid-market brand operated by Hilton International.

“The Hilton International brand is known throughout the world as the
leader in the hospitality industry. We can attribute our market position,
in large part, to our affiliation with Hilton International,” comments
Joseph Martino, Senior Vice President of IDeaS. “IDeaS has worked very
closely with Hilton International over the years and this partnership has
contributed not only to the success of IDeaS Revenue Optimization
Solution, but has helped IDeaS continually develop next generation
technology that provides meaningful solutions to the hospitality industry.”
