Trust International Underlines Strong Commitment to Hotel Customers with Hardware and Software Investments
Frankfurt, Germany – June 19, 2007 – Trust International a global provider of technology and distribution solutions for the hospitality and leisure industry, today announced the completion of the first phase of substantial investments in 2007 into new hardware and software components for Trust´s server and connectivity technologies and the completion of semi-annual upgrades to its Trust Voyager CRS software.
“We are aggressive in our commitment of resources to stay ahead of the hospitality and leisure industries’ future needs and, when appropriate, be an impetus for positive change in these areas,” said Richard Wiegmann, COO Trust International.
Trust´s investment of more than US $1 million in mainframe and communication infrastructure upgrades will help it maintain its focus on providing industry-leading response times and server uptime. Additionally it assures the high security levels for which Trust is known while accommodating the increasingly higher look-to-book ratios and traffic from Internet channels.
Trust continues to make significant ongoing investments in its Trust Voyager CRS software based on input from its Customer Advisory Board and internal evaluation processes. The newest release (Voyager release 10.0), launched in May as scheduled, includes new functionality that will help hotels locate reservation details more easily, improve the security of credit card data in reservation transactions and increase the flexibility and control of information sent to the distribution channels.
Trust´s Voyager CRS solution helps chains and hotel groups that are looking for a cost-effective alternative option to developing their own CRS infrastructure. Trust Voyager CRS helps hotel groups gain management efficiency and profitability through expanded distribution, while providing consumers with expanded access to hotel groups’ properties through both online and traditional agency channels.
”These investments underline our continued strong commitment to providing the best-in-class CRS solution together with our worldwide voice reservation services and a strategic interfacing approach that our prestigious customers expect from us,” commented Mr. Wiegmann. “While many of the infrastructure and software changes we’ve made will be transparent to the customer, they are extremely important to us in the process of ensuring that we are utilizing the best new technologies, security and systems to distribute the hotel inventory to the markets and to gain maximum revenue for our hotel customers.” Added Christoph Ihnenfeld, CIO of Trust International.
