LAKE MARY, Fla. - Scala Hospitality has signed a contract with Hyatt International Corporation to install back office systems and centralize operations for Hyatt properties throughout India. Within the centralized environment, Hyatt will acquire real-time access to each property's financial data while improving resource allocation, management efficiency and overall bottom-line performance.

"We chose Scala for the flexibility, platform, multilingual and multi-company capabilities of their enterprise application," said Gebhard Rainer, Vice President of Hotel Finance & Technology for Hyatt International. "Scala is the only recommended back office provider for Hyatt International."

Hotels in India implementing Scala's back office software include the existing Hyatt Regency Delhi and Grand Hyatt Delhi; and new hotels opening in Kolkata (June 2002), in Mumbai (July 2002 and December 2002) and in Goa (August 2003).

Scala will centralize the six hotels on a national basis through a Wide Area Network (WAN). Hyatt's Indian Shared Services Centre will be based in Mumbai and the systems will integrate with the global reservation system. Regional offices will have the ability to run customized and comparative reports online and in real-time between the different hotels.

Hyatt properties currently running on Scala's software worldwide are located throughout Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sultanate of Oman, Switzerland, Thailand and Yugoslavia.
