Press Release: TimeShareWare
June 6, 2002
KAYSVILLE, UT -- The Christie Lodge, located in Avon, Colorado, recently completed installation of TimeShareWare NEXT. TimeShareWare's technology leading software is designed to help timeshare managers run their resorts effectively with minimal training and effort. TimeShareWare NEXT manages reservations, guest hospitality, housekeeping, and maintenance fee billings.

As one of the largest, independently operated timeshare resorts in North America, The Christie Lodge provides vacation ownership and hotel services to visitors of the Vail Valley. The lodge is located near ski resorts and boasts such amenities as wood burning fireplaces and private balconies for each suite.

" We made an extensive search for a software package that could serve as a property management system and also operate the rental side," says Lisa Siegert-Free, general manager of The Christie Lodge. "TimeShareWare seemed to meet our needs and we made the decision to go with it. The installation went more smoothly than we had ever imagined, even though we had to deal with a staggering amount of historical data spanning 12 years. At this point we are very satisfied. If it can work at The Christie Lodge, it can work anywhere."

Lynn Weas, Managing Director of The Christie Lodge, also commented on the installation, "At one point during the installation preparations we were unsure if we would be able to make the transition to the new software because of our large volume of data and the mass complexity of our needs. But Timo Jones [President of TimeShareWare] made a commitment to me that if we would take the time to work together on this project, he would find a way to meet all of our needs. Both sides worked hard at making the transition work. TimeShareWare was able to meet our expectations and even exceed them. The end result was an absolutely seamless transaction."
