For more than 20 years Marriott has led the industry in the practice of Revenue Management, and in 2010 the company began the rollout of Consolidated Inventory / Total Yield. The system enables hotels to optimize total hotel revenue and profit as well as enhance their service to group and catering customers. Today, the rollout to the Eastern region of North America is complete and generating results, proving real business value within the first year.
"A project of this scale required the firm alignment of business and IT priorities in order to be successful," said Bruce Hoffmeister, Global CIO. "As a result, no competitor has anything close to the solution Consolidated Inventory / Total Yield provides. The system puts the right information in employees' hands so they can deliver on the expectations of group customers and close the right business for the hotel. We are honored that our efforts have been recognized by CIO Magazine."
"For 25 years now, the CIO 100 awards have honored the innovative use of technology to deliver genuine business value," said Maryfran Johnson, Editor in Chief of CIO magazine & events. "Our 2012 winners are an outstanding example of the transformative power of IT to drive everything from revenue growth to competitive advantage."
