Dallas-based
Pegasus Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEGS) today announced it has signed an
agreement with Wyntrac, L.L.C. for group reservations processing.
Wyntrac is scheduled to implement Pegasus’ group reservations processing
capability during the third quarter of 2000. Plano, Texas-based Wyntrac
is a leading events application software provider for the meetings and
conventions industry. Pegasus Solutions is a leading provider of hotel
industry transaction processing solutions and electronic commerce
services.
The agreement allows for the integration of Wyntrac’s signature
software, WYNTRAC®, with the Pegasus Electronic Distribution system,
which will result in a seamless end-to-end reservations solution for
group business with direct reservation connections to potentially
thousands of hotels.
“This association with Pegasus presents a tremendous opportunity for
Wyntrac,” said Michael Foster, executive vice president of Wyntrac, LLC.
“We have always admired the reputation and central position that Pegasus
has in the hotel industry and feel this relationship will assist us in
reaching a majority of our targeted markets. Offering this
ground-breaking technology to the industry with the support of Pegasus
is a very exciting step for our organization.”
Pegasus’ system can be connected to reservations systems used by
convention and visitor’s bureaus and other group housing providers, such
as Wyntrac, to make group reservations and electronically transmit
rooming information to the event hotels. WYNTRAC’s direct, two-way
communication coupled with Pegasus’ system will give event organizers
and attendees significantly greater control over event planning,
including hotel reservations, cancellations and arrival/departure
changes. In addition, the system provides housing managers, meeting
planners and hotel staff with real-time access to information, providing
all parties with the current status of room blocks.
“Both Wyntrac and Pegasus remain steadfast in their commitment to using
advanced technology to create a standard for automating group housing
reservations for hotels and housing providers worldwide, and Wyntrac’s
software offering is no exception,” said Bill Lush, executive vice
president, corporate development for Pegasus Solutions. “This agreement
with Wyntrac is beneficial for Pegasus’ hotel customers because it
provides them with direct access to yet one more distribution channel –
the burgeoning meetings and conventions market.”
