| PITTSBURGH, March 19, 2008 � Aptech
Computer Systems, Inc., the leading provider of business
intelligence and back office systems for the hospitality industry,
announced today that it installed its Profitvue back office financial accounting
software solution and Webvue Internet data collection tools at Heritage
Hotels and Resorts headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico and IHP Hotels
in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The companies operate a combined
total of 11 properties.
 �Profitvue
is a full-function, easy to use centralized accounting system that enables
Heritage Hotels and Resorts to consolidate its propertys� financials on
one accounting reporting platform,� said Felene Koen, Heritage Hotels and
Resorts� corporate controller. �We chose Profitvue because our team
has had positive experience with the system previously.� Heritage Hotels
and Resorts uses Profitvue as a remote ASP accounting application hosted
by Aptech at its secure data center. The company accesses the
system via web browsers at its corporate headquarters and at each hotel,
which reduces hardware cost and frees managers from the responsibility
of supporting application hardware and software. Heritage Hotels
and Resorts is an independent hotel company that operates six distinctive
full-service properties in New Mexico and Arizona offering an authentic
cultural experience to the everyday traveler.
 IHP
Hospitality Group operates five properties throughout Puerto Rico that
carry Marriott, Cendant and other flags. Aptech hosts the Profitvue
system for IHP in Aptech�s Pittsburgh data center. IHP properties
require only a PC and an Internet connection to provide property managers
with 24-hour access to their hotels� data. Aptech�s cost effective Profitvue
ASP multi-property accounting system lets IHP�s managers focus on successful
hotel
management operations and frees them from technology concerns.
Profitvue streamlines hospitality accounting processes
by automating:
-
Property data gathering and consolidation
-
Standardized chart of accounts
-
Business analysis
�As hotel groups continue to centralize operations
and controls, Profitvue provides an ideal platform that enables managers
to maintain corporate financial oversight without concerns about system
maintenance,� explained Aptech�s Director of Sales Cam Troutman. �The ASP
Profitvue enterprise back office solution is widely used by multi-property
operators that want to minimize hardware expenses and provide ownership
with flexible financials from any location.�
