PAR Springer-Miller Announces
HTNG Certification
SMS|Host V16.0 with SMS|Diplomat
certified under the HTNG Certification Program
NEW HARTFORD, NY — MARCH 21, 2007 — PAR Springer-Miller
Systems, Inc. (PSMS) a wholly owned subsidiary of PAR Technology
Corporation (NYSE:PTC) --- and the leading provider of guest-centric
hospitality management systems --- is pleased to announce that SMS|Host
V16.0 with SMS|Diplomat v2.3 is certified
under the Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) Certification
Program.
In an industry where so many systems must work in concert, the
proven ability to communicate reservations, rates and availability
across systems using OTA/HTNG messaging is a tremendous benefit
to hotels. This certification indicates that SMS|Host
V16.0 with SMS|Diplomat v2.3 demonstrates
conformance to the Property/Distribution Solution 2007a HTNG specifications.
“With this certification there can be no doubt that PAR Springer-Miller
is committed to advancing hospitality technology,” remarked
Sophie Grigg, Vice President of Research and Development for PAR
Springer-Miller. “When best-of-breed technologies come together
collaboratively everyone wins – hoteliers, technology vendors
and guests.”
HTNG is a non-profit global organization
formed in 2002 to facilitate the development of next-generation,
customer-centric technologies to meet the needs of the global hotel
community. A first for the industry, HTNG developed this Certification
Program in association with The Open Group, one of the world’s
leading practitioners of certification programs. The HTNG Certification
Program enables vendors to certify their products against open HTNG
specifications. Hotels can then determine which vendors have completed
certification of their products against specific capabilities and
the environments in which performance is certified.
“We envision a future of hotel properties running multiple
vendor systems communicating efficiently and reliably,” commented
Douglas Rice Executive Vice President and CEO of HTNG, “HTNG
certification ensures buyers a minimum level of interoperability
with other products, reducing the cost and time involved in managing
the complex systems needed to run the hotel of the future.”
