Chevy

eCommerce (North America), a subsidiary of MICROS
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), and leading interactive marketing company
for hospitality and travel, continues to expand its reach through the recent
launch of Global Hotel Alliance�s (GHA) new loyalty program website, GHA
Discovery. The services provided by MICROS eCommerce include design,
marketing, and hosting of the site.
GHA,
the world�s largest alliance of independent hotel brands, has long been
a user of MICROS�s OPERA Reservation System and OPERA Customer Information
System solutions. GHA also utilizes MICROS�s myfidelio.net for its booking
engine and loyalty program.
MICROS
eCommerce partnered with GHA to transform its website from a business-to-business
focused site with a loyalty program component to a business-to-consumer
focused site with a limited B2B presence.
�We
selected MICROS eCommerce for its forward thinking user experience, design
acumen and deep knowledge of the MICROS OPERA Enterprise Solution,� stated
Christopher Hartley, President of Global Hotel Alliance. �The new design
offers increased guest personalization that showcases GHA Discovery�s signature
Local Experience component, and the improved categorization of programs
allows our guests to sort by both applicable interest area and member program
level.�
�We
are pleased to launch our partnership with Global Hotel Alliance and its
large network of hotel and resorts across the world,� stated Paul Peddrick,
MICROS eCommerce�s (North America) Senior Vice President of Digital Strategy.
