Chris Gennardo, ARAMARK Harrison Lodging's Vice President of Revenue Management said, "After extensive research we concluded that MaximRMS is the only partner for us. They successfully meet all of our Revenue Management requirements. We need a solution that offers more than length of stay controls and with MaximRMS we enjoy tools that optimize all of our revenue channels as well as group forecasting modeling. It is clear that MaximRMS designed LexKey from the property revenue management team's perspective and support it with some of the most advanced technology found today. We are looking forward to partnering with MaximRMS across our entire portfolio of Conference Centers and Collegiate Hotels."

Launched in 2003 as a collaborative partnership between MaximRMS and Lexington Services / VIP International, LexKey is a customized version of MaximRMS' web-based maxim® e.FLEX system, and is the most advanced and powerful revenue management system available today. LexKey is the only solution that is specifically designed to allow a hotel to optimize Revenues, RevPAR and Profits from all of their distribution channels. LexKey's design and best-in-class mathematical algorithms allow it to analyze customer behavior and recognize the price-sensitivity and profit potential of each distribution channel for every future arrival day. These trends are then converted into detailed and accurate demand and revenue forecasts and the patented optimization engine generates the ideal revenue management controls for each channel: what price to charge on any given day, what room types to sell, and what lengths-of-stay to accept. All of these controls are then uploaded directly to each distribution channel through LexKey's interface with Lexington Services' central reservations system, allowing all hotels to seamlessly optimize their inventory and rates in all channels. An easy-to-use, highly intuitive front-end allows hotels to access their system from any computer that has a web browser installed.

LexKey™ will be on display at the HITEC show in Dallas from June 22-24, 2004. Please visit MaximRMS at Booth # 836 or Lexington Services at Booth # 420 for more details.
