�We welcome Bass Hotels & Resorts to our portfolio of valued RFPassist� customers, � said Brad Fred, Lanyon president. �They thoroughly evaluated their options.  It is truly an honor to be selected as their solution provider. Adding nearly 3,000 more hotels moves us a major step forward in establishing the RFP automation standard organizations like NBTA and HEDNA worked so hard to create. Not only will Bass Hotels & Resorts enjoy significant productivity and revenue improvement, travel agencies and corporations worldwide benefit as well.� 

The hotel groups� upscale brand, Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts, was the first in the company�s portfolio to use RFPassist�. Based on this initial success, RFPassist� will now be rolled-out throughout the entire Bass hotel portfolio. Bass Hotels & Resorts joins an extensive list of satisfied RFPassist� customers who number more than 47 premier hotel chains worldwide, representing over 33,000 hotels. 

Samantha Jones, Inter-Continental�s director of sales programs, says, �We searched for a solution that would enable us to streamline the RFP process and produce information of the highest quality. Our clients � travel agencies, consortia, and corporations throughout the world � expect our bids to meet their specific data requirements. We are confident that RFPassist� will enable us to deliver accurate, timely bids to our clients, while significantly improving our overall bidding process.� 

Lanyon is the leader in RFP automation because of its unique quality assurance. Much more than an electronic messaging system, RFPassist virtually eliminates wasteful and frustrating manual intervention needed to simply acquire complete and accurate information.  When bids are accepted cleanly the first time, everyone is focused on the deal, rather than the administration.

For 16 years, Lanyon has focused on delivering exceptional marketing distribution technologies to the travel industry. From its early success with GDS connectivity to its latest multi-channel publishing and productivity tools, Lanyon products are found in travel-related companies that effectively market their services electronically. RFPassist benefits more hotels, travel agencies, and corporations than all other competitors combined.
