Reichenbach continued, “Cendyn is already widely respected for its work in the hospitality and tourism industry with clients such as Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, Westin, Sheraton, Ritz-Carlton and others. Because of their vast experience in the hotel industry, meeting planners are already very familiar with using Cendyn’s eProposal system. It was an easy decision to align our company and software with Cendyn.” "We are excited to partner with SMI," stated Robin Deyo, Executive Vice President of Cendyn. “SMI’s unique leadership position as a key technology provider to the DMO vertical market makes them the ideal fit for us.
