January 21, 2004 - Following the early success of a pilot project at
it�s two Cannes hotels, Groupe Lucien Barrière announced today that
it will be proceeding with an accelerated roll-out of EzRMS� throughout
the group. Such was the success of the pilot that implementation dates
are being brought forward and all properties will be fully operational
by March 2004.
Mr.
Christian Meunier, Executive Vice President Hotels of Lucien Barrière,
states �Last year we carried out a rigorous evaluation of the available
RM solutions, and our decision to select EasyRMS has been thoroughly vindicated.
We have been very pleased with the results delivered in Cannes, and with
the professionalism shown by the EasyRMS team throughout.
It is a great testament to EasyRMS that, having actually seen the system
in action, the managers of our other hotels are now demanding that EzRMS�
be implemented at their properties as soon as possible.�
Mr. Philippe Coquand, Group Yield Director adds, �The Cannes pilot has
met our high expectations. The training and consultancy provided by EasyRMS,
combined with the system�s inherent ease of use, has led to quick productivity
and accurate analyses which are being exploited together with Sales and
Marketing. In addition, our decision to include the Ez-REGION� module means
that we now have a detailed view at group, resort and property levels.
We look forward to the entire group becoming EzRMS� enabled in the coming
weeks.�
Noel Churchill, Sales Manager for EasyRMS believes that the project�s
success is down to strong teamwork and a great product, �The success of
the Cannes pilot demonstrates once again that EzRMS� is easy to implement
and easy to use, even where there is a proprietary PMS in use at the hotels.
We are delighted by Lucien Barriere�s decision to speed-up the roll-out;
This is a great start to 2004�.
