Capabilities

Adam's Mark Hotels & Resorts, Accor Hotels and Outrigger Hotels and Resorts are among a diverse and expanding group of hotel industry leaders to adopt WizCom's EasyAccess HOD product, which allows companies to easily update their hotel description information within the four major GDSs simultaneously through WizCom's single point of entry system.

WizCom also announced the release of EasyAccess HOD 1.1 with enhanced administration capabilities.

"From hotel chains to representation companies, the fast-growing number of EasyAccess HOD users worldwide speaks to the fact that WizCom incorporated customer feedback on the initial EasyAccess HOD design to develop a product that addresses the technical needs of our diverse customer base," said Flo Lugli, President of WizCom. "We are also pleased to release an update to EasyAccess HOD with greater functionality based on additional customer feedback."

EasyAccess HOD reduces operational costs for customers by serving as a centralized data entry point to the GDSs and leading Internet sites. With the release of EasyAccess HOD version 1.1, the product will now allow hotel chain headquarters level personnel more flexibility in allowing access to HOD information at the management company or property level.

"With more than 3,500 hotels and 400,000 rooms in 90 countries, we immediately realized how EasyAccess HOD will enable us to update and maintain our hotel description information in a very cost-efficient way," said Alain Bergerat, Automation Marketing Manager of Accor Hotels.

"EasyAccess HOD will provide us with enhanced hotel description updating capabilities across all our units, and is a definite competitive advantage," said Mark Lowery, Corporate Director of Reservation Services for Adam's Mark Hotels & Resorts.
