PR Newswire (US)
COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 13 /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 Joie de Vivre Hospitality, California's largest
boutique hotelier, has chosen to standardize the technology in its
properties with the MICROS OPERA Enterprise Solution. The solution
includes OPERA Property Management, OPERA Sales & Catering, and
OPERA Customer Information System, all running on a multi-property
platform with a single database that is centrally hosted. As a
result of the tremendous growth Joie de Vivre Hospitality has
enjoyed in the last few years, the technological requirements of
its properties have significantly expanded. Implementing a
multi-property system environment will bring numerous advantages to
its properties which are in some cases located within walking
distance from each other. With centralized guest history, and
agents able to book reservations across all properties, Joie de
Vivre Hospitality intends to perfect the guest experience. Once
full solution deployment is complete, the single database will
house all Joie de Vivre properties for OPERA Property Management,
OPERA Customer Information, and OPERA Sales and Catering at
selected properties. "OPERA provides us with the opportunity to
capitalize on the benefits of true centrally hosted, multi-property
solution, allowing us to know more about our guests and business
than ever before," stated Michael Stano, Director of IT, Joie de
Vivre. "Not only are we saving money on additional hardware and
interface costs through consolidating PMS and Sales & Catering,
the scalability of the OPERA solution is perfect for all of our
properties, from 50 rooms to 250 rooms." Joie de Vivre's singular
goal is to create landmark destinations full of soul and
personality. To reach that goal, Joie de Vivre Hospitality focuses
on providing outstanding service and establishes an emotional
connection with its loyal, long-term clientele. Fred de Stefano,
COO of Joie de Vivre commented, "With OPERA we will control our
guest loyalty program and eliminate the need to outsource it. The
OPERA Customer Information System provides us additional marketing
functionalities and the technology we need to meet the expectations
of our clientele." "We are pleased Joie de Vivre Hospitality has
selected OPERA as its corporate standard," stated Jackie Carey,
Vice President Hotel Sales, Western Region, MICROS. "Our solid
partnership with hotel companies with both large and small
properties such as Joie de Vivre Hospitality underscores our
