Bass Hotels & Resorts Names InnOvation as Preferred National Account Vendor for Voice Mail
 
March 24, 1999 - InnOvation Voice Technologies, Inc. announced today that Bass Hotels & Resorts (BHR) has named them the national account vendor of choice for voice mail in all North American BHR properties. InnOvation�s InnLine and InnLine 2020 voice messaging systems are the only voice mail systems currently being developed and produced exclusively for lodging properties. 

The deal inked will provide BHR properties with the ability to purchase a BHR specific version of InnLine 2020, InnOvation�s Windows-NT based voice mail system, at �Favored Nation Pricing�, as well as a single point of contact to receive product information, service, and support. The program is unique in that it will not only protect the integrity of the dealer network that InnOvation already has established, but that in many cases it will allow BHR properties to purchase InnOvation�s products from the telecom provider of their choice.

After extensive testing of InnLine 2020, BHR determined that InnLine 2020 met all BHR specifications, and offered the most advanced and complete voice mail solution to their new telecommunications standards. BHR has required that all new properties open with voice mail, and all existing properties comply with their new telecom standards. 

�This deal provides a tremendous opportunity for our hotels,� said Les Gable, Senior Manager, Hotel Telecommunications for BHR. �InnOvation�s InnLine 2020 is a great fit because it truly represents the most feature-rich lodging specific voice mail system in the industry.�

InnLine 2020�s Windows NT operating system gives it many distinct advantages over other operating systems used in voice processing applications. Windows NT allows InnLine 2020 to house multiple applications on one computer, the ability to perform on-line maintenance, a simple and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), uncomplicated software upgrades, and most importantly the ability to continually take advantage of developing technologies.
 
�We are extremely excited to be working with BHR,� said Don Armstrong, InnOvation�s VP of National Accounts. �This national account program offers each BHR licensee a voice mail system which not only fulfills their telecom requirements today, but positions their property to be ready to utilize future voice processing technologies.�

Bass Hotels & Resorts properties include Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Select, Holiday Inn SunSpreer Resorts, Crowne Plazar Hotels & Resorts, Staybridge Suites, and Inter Continentalr Hotels & Resorts.

InnOvation is the only voice messaging company focused entirely on the lodging market, and has been serving their voice processing needs for over 10 years.
