Warsaw, Poland and Lake Mary, Fla. -- Scala Polska Sp. Z o.o., today announced that the international holding company Cosmar has selected Scala Hospitality for the newly-built Hyatt Hotel in Warsaw.

The 10-user system will run on Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and provide Payroll facilities for 100 employees. The order includes Scala 5.1, part of the Scala Global Series, and RPT (Reporting and Planning Tool), one of Scala Hospitality's business intelligence applications. RPT provides key financial data for evaluating hotel performance and for planning budgets as well as allowing management to view the property's performance in real-time. The system is being implemented in both Cosmar's offices and Hyatt Warsaw during the first half of 2001.

"We chose Scala Hospitality because it provides us with the industry-specific functionality and knowledge we need to run a successful international business," said Alessandro de Simone, CFO for Cosmar. "The RPT gives us the flexibility to compile necessary financial information at both the corporate level and the Hyatt property, making our business processes simpler."

Johan van Bers, Managing Director for Scala Polska Sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of Scala Business Solutions NV., stated that the new business contract represents a clear vote of confidence in the company, its people and its products. "Our global clients continue to look to Scala as their partner of choice for their subsidiaries and divisions, to provide them with software that combines back office functionality with leading-edge Internet technology," he said. He added that Scala delivers the right mix of products and services to meet its clients' needs in a rapidly changing business world, whether those clients operate globally or locally.
