Pegasus Solutions Licenses RezView NG to HP

Award-winning Next Generation Enterprise Delivery Platform to Enable Development
of Solutions Across Hospitality and Airline Industries

SCOTTSDALE, DALLAS and LONDON (November 9, 2010) – Pegasus Solutions has reached a licensing arrangement with HP Enterprise Services for its next generation enterprise delivery platform, RezView® NG. As a result, the award-winning RezView NG platform will help HP accelerate its development of next-generation consumer travel solutions for hospitality and airline clients.

RezView NG, which has been recognized in 2010 by InfoWorld, CIO and InformationWeek magazines, is the first next generation enterprise delivery platform. The platform has been lauded for its highly reliable interfaces with a wide variety of property systems in the hospitality space and rapid implementation options. “Licensing of RezView NG to HP is a tangible and natural extension of our existing relationship and will be of great value to travel-related organizations,” said Mike Kistner, CEO of Pegasus Solutions. “RezView NG has unrivaled ability to manage the technology and business of reservations in today’s complicated and competitive shopping environment.”

RezView NG currently allows hotels to manage room and non-room inventory, availability status, restrictions, pricing and policies per property preference. It is also the only enterprise reservations solution in the hospitality industry to communicate via ‘push’ and ‘pull’ technology. It was built on the tradition of Pegasus’ RezView central reservation system (CRS), which for years has maintained industry-leading uptime and sub-second response times.

“Customers across the hospitality and airline industries will benefit from our agreement with Pegasus,” said Sean Kenny, senior vice president, Worldwide Applications and Business Process Outsourcing, HP Enterprise Services. “HP is making significant investments to develop solutions built on modern technologies that are designed to enable clients to enhance their efficiency and productivity.”
