W. Brian Kretzmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hotel Information Systems, commented, �Many of our clients are resort hotels with luxurious private and semi-private golf courses for which they need a robust solution. Active Golf Solutions is a leading provider of golf course management software, online tee time reservations, activities scheduling and marketing services and offers a complimentary fit with our epitome.NET Internet-native Property Management System. This partnership, along with strong integration, will allow us to provide our resort clients with a complete desktop and Internet solution.� 

With Active Golf Solution�s golf and activity capabilities embedded into the epitome system, hotel reservationists using the epitome Property Management System will be able to book golf and other activities while handling administrative needs such as making a room or package reservation. Scheduled activity � tee times and resort activities � could be added to a guest�s itinerary and e-mailed directly to the guest. The new integrated software could also be used to notify reservationists of room cancellations associated with scheduled activities so scheduling adjustments can be made.
