Amadeus expands its technology offering to the hotel industry with the acquisition of Netherlands-based Itesso BV, a provider of cloud-native property management systems (PMS).
Itesso currently provides PMS technology to 1,800 properties worldwide, with its new cloud-native Itesso Enterprise Lodging System (Itesso ELS).
No details of the purchase price was disclosed.
Itesso provides cloud-native property management systems.
Amadeus said in a media release the deal would see the company realise its vision of bringing together systems such as the central reservation systems, property management systems, revenue management systems (RMS), and sales and catering into a cloud-based community model platform that is fully centered around the guest experience.
“This will enable the simplicity of a tightly integrated solution, which shares data from all primary hotel applications to give a single view of the guest, and full visibility and control of the business across brands, groups and properties,” it added.
Customers can subscribe to the full offering or individual applications for specific use cases, which can plug into hotel proprietary or third party systems.
The 100 Itesso’s employees, including the management team, will join Amadeus as part of the deal .
This transaction follows Amadeus’ acquisition of Newmarket, the US-based groups and events specialist in 2013, and solidified by its agreement to work with InterContinental Hotel Group to develop a next generation guest reservation system.
