COLUMBIA, Md., July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to
announce that Tourismus+Congress GmbH Frankfurt am Main (TCF), the
official tourism office and destination management company for the
city of Frankfurt, Germany, has selected MICROS's myfidelio.net
distribution services. Powered by the core MICROS Central
Reservation System modules, OPERA Central Reservation System and
OPERA Web Services, the central system solution facilitates
reservation bookings made via the
http://www.frankfurt-tourismus.de/ website for all of the 250
hotels in the city of Frankfurt and its surrounding areas. TCF
worked with MICROS-Fidelio Germany to successfully deploy in the
fall of 2005 the MICROS central solution, which is being fully
hosted in the MICROS Data Center located in Frankfurt, Germany. TCF
actively markets Frankfurt tourism around the world and provides
information to tourists on places to stay, things to do, sites to
see, and places to eat. TCF operates its own call center and
internet booking engine for reservations to Frankfurt hotels. The
MICROS central solution provides TCF with a real-time online
environment to manage hotel room inventory directly with that of
the front office system in the hotels. The complete solution
includes a content management system, an accounting module for
automatic invoicing, month end reports, and other modules to manage
the reservation process. "Many of the hotel properties in Frankfurt
are installed with a MICROS- Fidelio property management system,"
stated Gunter Hampel, General Manager, Tourismus+Congress GmbH
Frankfurt am Main. "This familiarity allows the hotel properties to
self manage the rates and inventory given to TCF. It strengthens
the relationship we have with these hotels because they know we are
working with a global technology partner that is both respected and
reliable and with which the hoteliers are comfortable." "MICROS has
actively expanded its central solutions business towards
destination management agencies and their portals, providing real
sales synergies to its existing hotel client base," stated Kaweh
Niroomand, President of MICROS EAME. "MICROS's success with TCF
allows us to expand this destination management concept beyond
Frankfurt to other larger German cities like Berlin, Hamburg,
Cologne, and Munich. We look forward to a strong partnership with
TCF." About Tourismus+Congress GmbH The Tourismus+Congress GmbH
