Newbury Park, CA � November 11, 2003 � With signs that the industry is improving, Hoteliers are again turning to technology to find solutions that enable efficiencies and focus management.

One such solution is BudgeTools, a product designed to work with your existing systems to provide you with a sophisticated rooms budgeting and forecasting application without heavy overheads.

�We recognize the investment hotels have made in their existing PMS and Sales systems� stated Matt Hurley, President and Founder of BudgeTools LLC, �Our BudgeTools software leverages this investment by consolidating critical data from these systems into an easy to use Forecasting solution. This means that Marketing, Revenue Management and Financial professionals in hotels can concentrate on trends and analysis not data entry and disparate systems.�
