Wyndham Hotel Group Enters Strategic Technology Partnership with Sabre

Migrates to Industry-Leading SynXis Enterprise Platform

December 09, 2014 // Franchising.com // Parsippany, N.J. and SOUTHLAKE, Texas – Wyndham Hotel Group and Sabre Corporation announced today a global strategic technology partnership which will provide cloud-based cutting-edge Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) reservations, revenue management and enhanced security solutions to Wyndham Hotel Group properties, making the Hotel Group the first large global company to leverage Sabre's SynXis Enterprise Platform.

Wyndham Hotel Group, a part of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), is the world's largest hotel company with approximately 7,590 properties franchised under well-known and award-winning brands including Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham®, Days Inn®, Super 8® and Ramada®.

As part of this agreement, Wyndham Hotel Group expects to migrate over 4,500 of its North American properties to Sabre's SynXis Property Manager beginning mid-2015.

The open architecture of the SynXis Enterprise Platform will allow Wyndham Hotel Group to integrate critical hotel functions into one intelligent, reliable system. This turnkey system will offer hotel owners an integrated and automated revenue management system that will optimize rates, occupancy and revenue per available room (RevPAR) to grow market share for Wyndham Hotel Group licensees while enhancing hotel-level security with cutting-edge credit card capabilities designed to support tokenization and chip and pin technology.

"After a six-month search to identify best-in-class, innovative providers, we are extremely pleased to partner with a leader like Sabre," said Wyndham Hotel Group President and CEO Geoff Ballotti. "Wyndham Hotel Group's strategy is to leverage partners who deliver state-of-the-art solutions across the global travel and service industry landscape for our owners and franchisees."

Currently, more than 20,000 independent and chain hotels deploy Sabre hospitality technology and solutions to operate and market their properties around the world. Delivered primarily through a SaaS model, the SynXis Enterprise Platform integrates distribution, reservations, property management, retailing and guest experience solutions to help hotels increase revenues, grow market share and create memorable guest experiences.

"Sabre delivers the only SaaS-based platform solution for hoteliers that integrates across all operational, commercial and guest experience systems and this best-in-class technology will help Wyndham Hotel Group enable a new level of guest experience, revenue generation and operational excellence."
