DALLAS (December 14, 2011) – Pegasus Solutions has further expanded its mobile offering with RezView® Mobile, a product that gives hotels using Pegasus’ RezView NG enterprise delivery platform the ability to design native applications for Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. Flagship customer Utell® Hotels & Resorts’ app is now available in both Apple and Android app stores. The announcement follows Pegasus’ launch of the OpenFlex mobile website design solution just last week amid reports from eMarketer that the number of US consumers using mobile for travel research will climb to 29.7 million in 2012. “Travel booking has become platform
independent. This should
not be a limiting factor for hotels that feel pressed to choose between
developing a mobile app or a mobile site,” said Mark Peacock, chief
information
officer of Pegasus Solutions. “Never before in the history of our
industry have
hotels been presented with so many points of sale and business
opportunities,
which is why we have designed our mobile offering to address both the
app
market with RezView Mobile and the mobile site market with OpenFlex
from Open Hospitality.”
RezView Mobile allows hotel customers to configure mobile applications to brand and display preference in several languages. Developed with NIIT Technologies, RezView Mobile leverages RezView NG’s award-winning next generation technology, and is available as a native application on the iPhone, the iPad and Android phones and tablets.
