Inland American Lodging Corporation Selects Execuvue Business Intelligence for 100 Properties
Inland American Lodging Corporation selected the Execuvue^® Business Intelligence system to automate data gathering, analysis and performance management for its nearly 100 properties carrying Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt and Choice branded flags. Inland American Lodging expects to finalize its Execuvue implementation in the third quarter of 2008 and will use Execuvue to consolidate and analyze operating data from multiple management companies for better business decisions.

“Inland American Lodging has multiple operators within its hotel portfolio; the Execuvue system will enhance our reporting capabilities to gather, consolidate and analyze property performance data to run the most profitable operation possible,” said Craig Lambert, SVP asset management for Inland America Lodging Corporation. “We selected Execuvue because we wanted the best system to integrate and standardize the different operating data from our properties and provide flexible analysis on which we can base future business decisions.”  

Execuvue is a Web-based enterprise business intelligence application for large and small hotel companies that coordinates data from various corporate systems, including Smith Travel Research, into accessible information with familiar browser simplicity.  Noble Investment Group, Extended Stay Hotels, Innkeepers Hospitality, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Peabody Hotel Group and many other successful companies use Aptech’s Execuvue Business Intelligence, Profitvue^® and Webvue^® accounting systems and Targetvue enterprise planning.

Targetvue, an integral component of Aptech’s Performance Management suite, gives operators the ability to build flexible operating budgets and set goals for various aspects of their enterprise.
