Hogatex-Optims is now called Amadeus Hospitality!
Vaterstetten n. Munich - 20 February 2006
Munich based Hogatex-Optims, expert for hotel software solutions, operates now under the name Amadeus Hospitality. The business unit hotel IT is a result from the merger of the Optims Group - including Hogatex-Optims - and the hotel distribution department of Amadeus, a worldwide leading technology partner for the entire travel and tourism industry.
Hogatex founder Richard Kürzl who is still running the company as Managing Director, says, “Nothing will change for our customers except for the name. The German Amadeus Hospitality GmbH remains an independent legal entity. And we, former Hogatex-Optims Munich, have been entrusted by Amadeus with further developing high end property management systems (PMS) for the entire Hospitality Group.”
Amadeus Hospitality provides international hoteliers and gastronomes with applications for profitable hotel management, worldwide distribution and IT hosting, plus technical consulting, project management and training.
Distribution and IT hosting have been added to the Amadeus Hospitality product portfolio.
