The exciting integration to IDeaS’ industry-leading revenue solutions, provides both tech groups with the opportunity to present our valued clients with even more comprehensive and advanced technology features and functionalities. With the first joint roll out at The Peninsula Beijing, we look forward to working hand-in-hand to continue implementing our newly integrated solutions to the rest of the hotel group’s diverse global portfolio,” said Kevin King, Chief Operating Officer, Shiji Group.
