Mr Christian Meunier, Executive Vice President Hotels of Lucien Barrière, states "Having thoroughly evaluated the available Revenue Management Solutions, we selected EzRMS™ not only for its advanced functionality, but also for the company's understanding of the markets in which we operate and the differing requirements of our diverse group of luxury hotels. In addition their technical capabilities were of particular importance, notably in interfacing to our proprietary PMS."

Mr. Philippe Coquand, Group Yield Director adds, "The modular approach of EzRMS™ allows us to select a group of products that best suits the business mix of each individual hotel. We will be implementing the Ez-REGION™ module to give us a view of the group as a whole, and the Ez-QUOTE™ module at those hotels with a significant level of groups business. Also we anticipate that the new Ez-YIELD™ module will be a great time-saver in allowing us to simultaneously update our prices and availability on all our Internet wholesaler sites."

Noel Churchill, Sales Manager for EasyRMS, anticipates great benefits for the Majestic and Gray d'Albion. "We are delighted to be partnering with Lucien Barrière in their drive to increase revenues and control inventory - particularly in view of their careful consideration of competing solutions - and we look forward to the forthcoming implementations at the two prestigious Cannes properties."
