Announces HTNG Certification
SpaSoft with SMS|Diplomat certified under the HTNG
Certification Program
NEW HARTFORD, NY — MARCH 13, 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 SpaSoft
3.0 with SMS|Diplomat v2.3 is certified
under the Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) Certification
Program.
The Single Guest Itinerary is a component of the HTNG Property
Web Services Workgroup 2007a Specification. Using the Single Guest
Itinerary, a certified property management system can share guest-centric
information via real-time bidirectional communication with an activity
based system, such as SpaSoft 3.0. Put in practice, the
interface is capable of notifying SpaSoft Users of system-wide
reservation events such as reservation changes or cancellations.
It links guest profiles and sends all types of activity posting
charges seamlessly between the systems. All activities will then
be displayed for the hotel guest in a single guest itinerary.
“As a committed and actively participating member in several
HTNG workgroups, we are very pleased to have our activity system
certified so quickly after the specification was released and also
to have this next generation interface ready to go to market”,
remarked Brigitte Diem-Guy, General Manager of SpaSoft
Operations for PSMS.
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.
“This certification is a tremendous achievement for both
HTNG and the technology vendors involved,” commented Douglas
Rice Executive Vice President and CEO of HTNG. “The certification
gives hotels the confidence that the systems involved will be able
to communicate without custom development.”
SpaSoft 3.0 with SMS|Diplomat
joins PAR Springer-Miller’s SMS|Host v16.0 with
SMS|Diplomat v2.3 and DipHost v2.3 as
two of the first five products to achieve HTNG Certification shortly
after the release of the Workgroup specifications.
