McLean, VA, May 21, 2001 - SynXis Corporation, a provider of reservation management and distribution services for the hospitality industry, announced today that Morristown, NJ-based Headquarters Plaza Hotel has migrated to the SynXis Agent reservation management system. The 256-room Headquarters Plaza Hotel is a well-known business hotel serving the local corporate and social community for 18 years.

SynXis was selected as the exclusive provider of reservations technology and electronic distribution to Headquarters Plaza. SynXis Agent, a JAVA-based Internet solution, provides Headquarters Plaza with seamless connectivity to the 500,000+ travel agents using the four major Global Distribution Systems (GDSs) to book hotel reservations worldwide. SynXis also enables the property to be booked through major Internet travel portals such as Travelocity, Expedia, Yahoo and PlacesToStay.com. Using SynXis' online booking engine, Book-A-Rez, Headquarters Plaza's Web site () now supports on-line reservations with instant confirmations to guests using the Internet to make hotel reservations.

"We chose SynXis not only for the significant cost savings we will experience with the system, but also for the new level of control we will have over our room inventory," said Bob McIntosh, Director of Sales and Marketing for Headquarters Plaza. "SynXis gives me the power to make automatic rate and availability updates right from my PC - across all channels or to each channel individually. So I can get immediate results to the adjustments in our marketing strategy, and that translates into a better bottom line."

"Headquarters Plaza is a strong, well-known independent hotel that is committed to growing its leisure and corporate business in a cost-effective, hands-on way," said Elmer Coppoolse, Vice President of SynXis. "SynXis technology is a perfect fit for Headquarters Plaza, providing extensive GDS and Internet distribution plus real-time control that helps maximize occupancy and rate."

SynXis is the exclusive provider of JAVA-based technology that allows hotels to centrally manage room inventory across all booking sources, for one or multiple properties. Using the SynXis Agent™ Control Center, a hotel inventory dashboard, reservations from all sources are consolidated against a centralized inventory. Hotels can easily control rates and availability across all channels from one easy-to-use interface. This flexibility and control can be accessed anytime, from any location with Internet access.
