Seattle, WA - July 31, 2001 - Diversified Computer Corporation, a leading
provider of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software for the lodging
industry, is pleased to announce their product GuestWare will be installed
in the Hotel Monaco New Orleans in August. The installation marks the 25th
GuestWare installation for Kimpton Group this year. Additionally, GuestWare
will also be installed in new Kimpton Group managed hotels as they open.
Kimpton Group hotels are implementing GuestWare�s Guest Recognition and
Rapid Response modules.
Steve Pinetti, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kimpton Group
stated, �GuestWare really allows us to enhance how we recognize our repeat
customers. Our guests generally prefer personalized recognition rather
than frequent stay points. Each hotel is able to create their own recognition
program in line with the character and location of the hotel, while we
are still able to maintain company wide standards for consistency. We realize
it is especially important in a tough economy to do everything we can to
keep our current customer base coming back and GuestWare is helping us
do that.�
Mike Benjamin, Vice President of
Sales at GuestWare added, �We are excited that everyone at Kimpton Group,
from the President down to the front lines, embraces our product as they
have during the initial roll-out. It is great to work with a team of people
so committed to our product. Kimpton has clearly demonstrated why they
are the leaders in the boutique hotel market.�
GuestWare allows the hotels to surprise repeat guests with personalized
recognition. Detailed preferences as well as past requests and incidents
appear on the daily arrival report allowing the hotel to surprise the guest.
Each hotel has selected a GuestWare Champion to ensure a successful implementation
but the entire staff is trained on the process.
Kimpton Group manages 34 hotels and 28 restaurants located in eleven
cities in the U.S. and Canada. The company is currently developing hotels
in New Orleans, Washington |
Rapid Response

satisfaction by streamlining service delivery for hotel call centers. Rapid
Response provides a fast and reliable way for your staff to log, dispatch
and follow-up on all guest requests and problems. At the same time, you

GuestWare's Guest Recognition system will help you retain your most valued
guests. From frequent business travel to weekend getaways and vacations,
GuestWare helps you build a process to manage customer relationships. Whether
you are independent or part of a large hotel chain, GuestWare will help
keep your customers coming back year after year.
Comment Card Tracking
Whether you use a quick survey in your restaurant or

helps you manage customer feedback. GuestWare will improve productivity
in the follow-up process and provide valuable management reports to maximize
the benefits of your surveys.
