Leading hospitality technology provider prepares for new global position

London, UK, November 5, 2009: Today, eRevMax/RateTiger announced its new corporate and management structure, together with plans for global expansion through organic growth and acquisitions.

Just recently the software company successfully launched the first automated revenue management system, RTStrategyEngine, and completed the acquisition of ‘SimpleDistribution’, a web-based channel-management solution for small hotels, from RateReports. Going forward eRevMax will continue to invest into its leading product lines while accelerating growth through strategic acquisitions.

In order to streamline operations, the eRevMax Group has also re-organized the corporate group structure. A newly incorporated eRevMax International, based in Dublin, Ireland will be the new holding company for the various business units in the USA, Europe and Asia.
The daily operations of the company will be led by a modified senior management team, reporting directly to Sascha Hausmann:

We are confident Sascha can continue to lead organisational change and development for the benefit of the product, company, employees, customers and shareholders. We will be focusing our energies on exploring acquisitions and strategic initiatives to further develop innovative technologies for hoteliers.”
In a statement to employees announcing the management restructure, Reuel Ghosh, President, said, “The future of eRevMax is bright and prosperous and provides many opportunities.
