After the first successful installation of OPERA PMS at the Hotel Fouquet's Barriere Av. des Champs Elysees in Paris, Grand Hotel Barriere in Dinard, France was the second successful installation and constituted the first multi-property OPERA configuration in France.

"We selected MICROS to provide our next generation solution as MICROS is a solid partner with the advanced hotel and restaurant solutions fully satisfying all of our specific requirements," stated Jerome Olliveaud, Director of IT, Lucien Barriere Hotels & Casinos. "Strategically, technology should be leveraged to improve the guest experience, gain organizational efficiencies, and reduce overall operating costs. The multi-property deployment of OPERA PMS allows us to realize this and more." 

"The seasonal opening of our hotel with the MICROS solutions in place has been very smooth," stated Arnaud Bamvens, General Manager, Grand Hotel Barriere in Dinard, France. "The hotel operation staff has been extremely pleased with the performance of OPERA PMS and MICROS 9700. We found the MICROS team highly competent and easy to work with. We are proud to be the first Lucien Barriere Hotels & Casinos property to be hosted from the MICROS-Fidelio Data Center in Frankfurt." 

"Based on the successful deployment of OPERA at the new Fouquet's Hotel, Lucien Barriere Hotels & Casinos has decide to deploy further properties in the MICROS-Fidelio Data Center," continued Olliveaud. "We determined that the scalable MICROS solution is the easiest to deploy and provides the greatest value for Lucien Barriere Hotels & Casinos." 

"We are pleased to include Lucien Barriere Hotels & Casinos, a prestigious French Chain, as our newest customer and we look forward to a lasting partnership with them," stated Kaweh Niroomand, President, MICROS EAME. "More hotel chains are recognizing the value and efficiency of central enterprise deployment.
