Decisions Business
Intelligence System Installed at
7 American Skiing Company Resorts
For Immediate Release
Monday, September 16, 2002
Weston, FL: Resort management company American Skiing Company
recently deployed Decisions Business Intelligence System from
Datavision Technologies, Inc. at seven resorts. A premier
developer of Business Intelligence Solutions in the hospitality
industry, Datavision’s flagship product - Decisions Business
Intelligence System – consolidates data from various systems (PMS,
POS, Timeclock, etc.) into a data warehouse to provide flash
reporting, revenue management solutions and guest stay pattern
analysis.
At American Skiing Company’s resorts, Decisions extracts a variety
of historical and on-the-books information from Springer Miller
PMS and provides automated flash reports, booking pace reports and
30/60/90 day forecasting reports. Consistent market segments and
revenue consolidations were also developed at all the resorts to
provide standardized reports that can be used across the
enterprise. Shortly after the PMS close day is complete, all of
this data is available to decision makers in the company, giving
the management team access to operational numbers early in the
morning. In addition, a host of marketing data relating to booking
sources, package codes, guest geographic origin and market
segmentation is available at anytime for ad-hoc analysis and
reporting via an OLAP database. Data is delivered to end-users via
standard Excel spreadsheets, which can then be customized to meet
individual needs of the resorts or linked to other spreadsheets.
ASC’s corporate office is also able to access information from all
resorts via a Wide Area Network.
Peter Mutty, ASC Controller of Hospitality Operations, states:
“Decisions has truly enhanced our ability to quickly spot new
trends and respond to the changes in our future business. Each
property can monitor the booking pace of revenue by market share
compared to budget, forecast and a snapshot of last year’s
occupancy. In the past, personnel at the property spent 6-14 hours
collating this data rather than reviewing it. Now, everyday the
data is at their fingertips and the management team at each resort
can use Decisions to monitor rates and control costs within
forecasted occupancy immediately.”
Sudharshan Chary, President of Datavision, says: “Most resorts
today spend considerable amounts of time manually re-keying
numbers from various reports into spreadsheets. Decisions
automates the collection, warehousing and delivery of all this
data so that users can spend their valuable time analyzing data
and act based on the analysis.”
