PITTSBURGH, April 30, 2008 � Aptech Computer Systems, Inc. announced today that LQ Management L.L.C., operator of the La Quinta Inns and Suites brand, implemented the Execuvue® Business Intelligence system to automate data gathering and operational performance management for its more than 600 La Quinta Inns and Suites hotels.

Vivek Shaiva, Chief Information Officer for LQ Management, L.L.C., said, �Execuvue enables LQ to provide its officers and corporate management team with daily operating reports to track key business performance indicators. The system is a critical part of LQ�s management information system that provides support for tactical and strategic decisions.� Shaiva said his team worked with Aptech to develop custom flash reports that show the company�s overall performance and enables executives to drill down into data to evaluate individual property contribution. LQ Management collects operating data from all its properties during the night audit process, and then consolidates the individual hotel information into a central database that exports it to Execuvue for management reporting and analysis. �Our CEO and other officers have custom Execuvue operating reports on their desk by 8 a.m.,� Shaiva said.
