IDS (Intellect Data Systems & Software Pvt. Ltd.) Seeks HVS International Counsel To Enter US / European Markets

"When I visited India, I had expectations for a fairly impressive property management system given the Indian reputation for software engineering," said Ms. Lauer. "What I found was a fully integrated enterprise management system, enabling every department of a hotel. Fortune NT is a true Windows-based product with powerful centralized database management and reporting capabilities. It debuted over two years ago and its ongoing development is clearly client driven. Although modifications are certainly required for its acceptance in the West, the system is incredibly robust"
