Pegasus Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:PEGS) has entered into
an agreement with Leonardo Media, a global provider of digital image
content, to improve the quality and quantity of the more than 200,000
images in Pegasus' Online Distribution Database (ODD) as the first
step in a major property content database redesign Pegasus has
undertaken.
In addition, Utell and Unirez properties will be able to manage
and distribute their images not only to ODD but also to other
distribution channels in Leonardo's channel network, which includes
the four Global Distribution Systems, Yahoo! and Opodo. Dallas-based
Pegasus is a global leader in providing technology and services to
hotels and travel distributors.
David Elton, CEO of Leonardo, said that the Pegasus image
management solution, which will be available by year's end, will
represent a "significant achievement in bringing two industry leaders
together to provide a single source repository to deliver the quality
and quantity of images that can further increase hotels' ability to
differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive market."
When completed, a Pegasus branded image management portal powered
by Leonardo will be available to hotels for loading and maintaining
their properties' images in ODD. In addition, extended validation will
be introduced to ensure image sizing and quality standards for all
images submitted. This aligns well with the overall ODD redesign
strategy to improve content consistency and accuracy through
standardization and new data management tools.
Dennis Law, senior vice president of product management at Pegasus
said: "Once the redesign is completed, the ODD will be the industry's
leading repository of hotel content. Its more structured content
formats, improved data accuracy and consistent quality will increase
the number and variety of travel channels through which our customers
can market their hotels. It will also be easier to update giving users
the ability to keep their information current," he said. Work on the
redesign will be completed in 2006, he noted.
The Pegasus ODD houses images, property and room descriptions for
more than 60,000 hotels and is accessible by an estimated 350,000
travel agents, travel distributors and travel Web sites around the
world.
