New York� October 8, 2009 �The Paramount hotel, one of midtown Manhattan�s most fashionable boutique properties, reports that its recent no-cost Business Center software upgrade from TTI Technologies International is a big hit with guests and hotel staff. Since the provider of self-service business solutions refreshed the hotel�s three Business Center computers 30 days ago, guests are raving about the familiar desktop featuring a choice of browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari) and the ability to open/edit documents in their preferred program. �When we turned over our Business Center operations to TTI two years ago, we thought the service and system functionality couldn�t get any better,� said Barbara Christoph, Paramount Front Desk Director. �But to our surprise, last month they came to us with a completely unique desktop that gives users a true at-home experience. It�s absolutely amazing and the upgrade was free! �Today, the entire Internet is at our guest�s disposal,� she said. �The familiar desktop icons make logging on and conducting business extremely fast and efficient. This means guests require less of the staff�s time and benefit from spending more time online conducting business or staying in contact with family and friends. From a satisfaction standpoint, I have to give TTI an A++ for thinking outside the box and developing new software tools that reinvent the way people do business while on the road.� TTI (www.ttitel.com) provides self-service solutions to hotels, resorts, and hostels that are easy to operate, require minimal staff interaction, and include design, installation and on-going 24/7/365 management and support. Solutions include: Driver�s License, Passport and ID Scanners; Self-Service Business Centers; Boarding Pass Printing Stations; Self-Service Concierge and more. Completely renovated in 2009, The Paramount hotel is centrally located in the heart of Times Square, with easy access to the Broadway Theater District, Restaurant Row, upscale Madison and Fifth Avenue shopping, Penn Station, and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The hotel features 601 freshly renovated guestrooms adorned with modern and serene furnishings. Paramount guests are greeted by vibrant décor in the lobby; the mezzanine floors combine historical architecture with chic Nuevo styles. Steve Blidner, TTI President, said he is thrilled that the new software is exceeding both customer and guest expectations. �As a developer of Business Center and self-service solutions, I find myself scrutinizing the various solutions in the market,� Blidner said. �What I�ve found is that no two Business Center desktops are the same -- the configuration depends on the company providing the service to the hotel. For international travelers, this must be confusing because of language barriers. Therefore, with customer satisfaction our No. 1 priority at TTI, we went back to the drawing board to set our solutions above the rest by developing an internationally friendly desktop that gives each user the impression that he or she is on their home computers. We also provide a link to a Virtual Multi-Lingual Keyboard that enables everyone to communicate and work in their language of choice. It�s a fast, easy application that makes a big impact on the travelers� experience. �From the feedback we have received from The Paramount, the new desktop also is making a big impact on Business Center revenues,� he added. �The more time that guests spend on the computers, the more revenue that is shared between the hotel and TTI. When you consider that TTI installs all the Business Center equipment at no cost, services the equipment, and offers lucrative commissions off the revenues to qualifying hotels, it�s a win-win for everyone. In today�s economy, finding ways to generate new sources of revenues while improving guest service is key to stability.� In addition to achieving increased guest service and supplemental revenues, the new TTI Business Center software also provides the hotel with the latest software development tools available on the market. This is a quick and NO COST way to upgrade Business Center equipment.
