 Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Selects
IAD Software for Two Florida Properties
Lawrenceville, GA, Sept. 23, 2003  � Inter-American Data (IAD) has announced that the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino properties have chosen the Lodging Management System (LMS) and the Materials Management System (MMS) to streamline operations in their Tampa and Hollywood, FL, hotels. The properties are scheduled to open in Spring 2004.

LMS is an integrated property management software designed to create economies of scale and provide greater control of front office, accounting and housekeeping operations. The versatile front-office system easily expands to incorporate additional software modules from IAD and other vendors. MMS is a turnkey software solution for inventory and procurement operations with specific functionality geared to the hospitality industry.

With more than 40 applications to install before opening, the Seminole Hard Rock sought the industry�s most trusted names for its core customer systems. �One of our guiding principles is to choose vendors with track records of successful implementations in similar opening environments,� said Lyle Bell, Senior Vice President Information Technology for the properties. �LMS and MMS are clearly the leaders in the gaming industry, and IAD has a reputation for delivering excellent customer support.�

�We are pleased that the Seminole Hard Rock properties have selected our software,� said Bill Lashley, Chief Operating Officer for Inter-American Data. �Both of these hotels will greatly contribute to Florida�s economy, and we are delighted to be a part of that growth.�

The new properties are part of a $400 million project owned and operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL, will include 500 guestrooms and suites, four-acre pool complex, full-service spa, dozens of restaurants and nightclubs, including a Hard Rock Café, and a 300,000-square-foot waterfront entertainment district. The casino will offer more than 2,000 gaming machines, live poker and bingo. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa will include 250 guestrooms and suites, 24-hour restaurant, three lounges, full-service fitness center, tropical pool, and meeting and convention facilities. The casino will offer 1,500 of the latest gaming machines, live poker and bingo. Both properties will showcase signed one-of-a-kind pieces of music memorabilia, plus a massive �Tower of Power� signature casino bar highlighted by an entertainment extravaganza.
