7 American Skiing Company Resorts |
Weston, FL - March 2003 - Resort management company
American Skiing Company recently deployed Decisions Business Intelligence
System from Datavision Technologies, Inc. at seven resorts. A premier
developer of Business Intelligence Solutions in the hospitality industry,
Datavision�s flagship product - Decisions Business Intelligence System
� consolidates data from various systems (PMS, POS, Timeclock, etc.) into
a data warehouse to provide flash reporting, revenue management solutions
and guest stay pattern analysis.
At American Skiing Company�s resorts, Decisions extracts a variety of historical and on-the-books information from Springer Miller PMS and provides automated flash reports, booking pace reports and 30/60/90 day forecasting reports. Consistent market segments and revenue consolidations were also developed at all the resorts to provide standardized reports that can be used across the enterprise. Shortly after the PMS close day is complete, all of this data is available to decision makers in the company, giving the management team access to operational numbers early in the morning. In addition, a host of marketing data relating to booking sources, package codes, guest geographic origin and market segmentation is available at anytime for ad-hoc analysis and reporting via an OLAP database. Data is delivered to end-users via standard Excel spreadsheets, which can then be customized to meet individual needs of the resorts or linked to other spreadsheets. ASC�s corporate office is also able to access information from all resorts via a Wide Area Network. Peter Mutty, ASC Controller of Hospitality Operations, states: �Decisions has truly enhanced our ability to quickly spot new trends and respond to the changes in our future business. Each property can monitor the booking pace of revenue by market share compared to budget, forecast and a snapshot of last year�s occupancy. In the past, personnel at the property spent 6-14 hours collating this data rather than reviewing it. Now, everyday the data is at their fingertips and the management team at each resort can use Decisions to monitor rates and control costs within forecasted occupancy immediately.� Sudharshan Chary, President of Datavision, says: �Most resorts today spend considerable amounts of time manually re-keying numbers from various reports into spreadsheets. Decisions automates the collection, warehousing and delivery of all this data so that users can spend their valuable time analyzing data and act based on the analysis.� About Datavision Technologies, Inc.
