(openPR) - Hotels will manage rates, availability, inventory and reservations directly from the MICROS OPERA Property Management System or from MICROS OPERA Central System and myfidelio.net

Neuss, Germany – March 24, 2010 – MICROS Systems, Inc., a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to announce the launch of a powerful XML-based interface between RateTiger’s channel management system - RTConnect, one of Europe’s leading online channel management tools and MICROS’s OPERA Property Management and Reservation Systems. This interface also includes RTConnect’s Rate shopping functionality.

This unique and innovative solution will enable the hotel to manage its rates, inventory and availability from MICROS OPERA applications into RateTiger’s channel management and receive reservations directly into its hotel system, utilizing MICROS’s proprietary interfacing technology. Information for over 500 channels will be easily maintained directly from OPERA Property Management System, OPERA Reservation Systems and myfidelio.net. The OPERA and myfidelio.net Interfaces will also interact with RateTiger’s rate shopping tools to show competitive rate information within OPERA.

“This interface allows hotels to generate additional revenue from online travel portals and to automate the process flow between points of sale and the hotel systems. Rate shopping connectivity contributes to traditional integrated revenue management functions and thus allows hoteliers to make better decisions,” stated Peter Agel, Vice President Distribution Logistics for MICROS-Fidelio.

“MICROS customers now have access to a large global network of online travel booking channels. The integration between MICROS OPERA and RateTiger completely automates and streamlines online distribution, thereby sparing hotels the need of manual updates,” stated Ragnar Strerath, Vice President Product Development, eRevMax, parent company to RateTiger.
