Milenium Grupo Hotelero is an independent franchisee group of Six Continents Hotels, one of the world's leading hospitality companies with more than 3,000 owned, managed, or franchised hotels in 100 countries and territories around the world. Milenium also purchased the OPERA Sales & Catering System for its Inter-Continental and Crowne Plaza properties in Mexico.

The OPERA Property Management System is a full-featured, scalable property management solution, meeting the requirements of all segments of the hospitality industry -- from limited service, to business class and luxury. With its intuitive graphical user interface, screen painter tools and parameter-driven functionality, the OPERA Property Management System is able to meet the varied requirements of Milenium Hotels multi-brand portfolio.

Enrique Sanchez, Chief Information Officer and Chief Technology Officer for Milenium Grupo Hotelero, stated, "We had many requirements and wishes for an effective, centralized multi-property management system, and found the OPERA Hotel Edition to have all of the features we wanted, plus the benefits of being web enabled and ease of operation for our employees. This system will serve all our brands -- from the luxury of Inter-Continental to the limited service of Holiday Inn Express -- from a convenient data center at our Monterrey headquarters, and will give us the competitive advantages of real- time data collection and decision making."

"We are honored to be introducing the OPERA Multi-Property Management System into Mexico by being selected by Milenium Grupo Hotelero," acknowledged Bernard Jammet, Executive Vice President for MICROS' Latin American Group. "The scalable functionality of our OPERA Hotel Edition with Multi-Property PMS and Sales and Catering will enable Millennium Group's hotels to benefit from the economy of centralized operation while delivering the highest level of service and software functionality to meet the needs of both hotel management and guests."
