protel and IDeaS Expand Partnership to Cloud Enable the Hotel Technology Stack

DORTMUND – Cloud technology and next-level integrations are accelerating the hospitality industry's ability to access, store and leverage data across multiple systems. Since 2005, IDeaS Revenue Solutions, the leading provider of revenue management solutions (RMS) and advisory services, and protel hotelsoftware GmbH, innovative provider of on-site and cloud-based advanced property management systems (PMS), have jointly enabled hotels to drive efficiency and productivity through the integration of powerful solutions. This latest advancement provides a single integration to seamlessly connect between any of the best-of-breed-solutions offered by protel.I/O and IDeaS advanced RMS.

Available now, protel's existing 14,000 hotel customers will be able to have direct, two-way access to IDeaS G3 RMS. This newly enhanced integration gives hotels ultimate flexibility to harness data insights and deliver next generation revenue strategy and optimize hotel profitability.

"Each platform delivers value to our business," said Thomas Behrendt, managing director, SI-SUITES, Stuttgart. "But seamlessly combining the power of IDeaS and protel allows us to elevate our guest and revenue strategies and enhance our performance across our estate."

IDeaS and protel enable hotels with an autonomous technology platform flexible enough for the unique business needs of each hotel property. With protel.I/O hotels can scale at speed and build a 360 degree view of their business strategy that can then be deployed through IDeaS advanced RMS.
