The AmericInn Lodging System to Install MICROS OPERA Xpress PMS by June 2006 OPERA Xpress Property Management System and OPERA Customer Information System (OCIS) Give AmericInn Flexibility and Scalability COLUMBIA, Md., June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality industry, and AmericInn International, LLC a privately owned hospitality company, announced that the AmericInn Lodging System will install the MICROS OPERA Xpress Property Management System (PMS) and MICROS OPERA Customer Information System (OCIS). Installations are already underway and are expected to be complete in all properties by June 1, 2006. AmericInn is an upscale limited service lodging chain that is popular with business and leisure travelers because of spacious, well-appointed public areas, guest rooms built for a quiet night's sleep, and the uniform architecture and signature amenities. The company expects to develop new properties nationwide in small to medium-sized communities, along highways and interstates, in resort destinations and in large cities. When AmericInn decided to standardize on a single property management system, AmericInn International, LLC sought an advanced technology that would enhance operational efficiency and profit potential for each of the company's franchise locations. After an extensive evaluation, AmericInn International, LLC selected OPERA Xpress PMS because it allows them to exchange real-time room reservations and sales data between the AmericInn Central Reservation System (CRS) and each AmericInn location. "With our aggressive growth strategy, we felt it was necessary for all our locations to be able to access an integrated property management system. And MICROS, with its notable ability to centralize guest data across many different properties and locations, offered us exactly what we needed," noted Mark Nicpon, CIO, of AmericInn International, LLC. "The OPERA OCIS supports our objectives as well, because it enables us to consolidate reports, providing corporate management with a broad, yet deep, picture of all the properties, at the same time profiling guests from all AmericInn locations." "MICROS OPERA Xpress PMS is the perfect solution for a centralized multi- property franchised system, such as AmericInn. It combines the flexibility needed for a franchise system, and the centralization needed for a major hospitality chain," noted Desmond Parker, Sr. Vice President, Hotel Sales, for MICROS. "We are thrilled to continue to support AmericInn's strategic growth objectives with our solution."
