DOVER, NH -- The recently renovated Holiday Inn Plainview on Long Island, New York has chosen Daylight Software
to provide the property with the hospitality industry's most innovative sales and catering solution. The installation
of Daylight enterprise, the enterprise-wide, Internet-integrated, customer relations management system, is scheduled
to begin next month.
Located only 30 minutes from New York City, the 125-room property has undergone more than $8 million in renovations
during the past two years. Randy Seifer, a corporate officer at Holiday Inn Plainview, says installing Daylight
enterprise will allow employees to give greater levels of conference service and better utilize the property's
5,000 square-feet of meeting space.
``We have been handling scheduling matters manually, so we are excited by the choice of Daylight enterprise. It
came highly recommended by others who have used the system and we chose it because it is the most economic and
most complete solution for us,'' Seifer says. ``One of the best selling points for us was that it could be tailor-made
and effective even for a smaller property like ours.''
``We are pleased and privileged to be a vital partner with the Holiday Inn in Plainview,'' says Donald R. Kelly,
Daylight Software's Vice President for Sales and Marketing. ``The hotel's decision to install Daylight enterprise
is yet another strong statement affirming Daylight's reputation as the hospitality industry leader in providing
sales and catering innovation for properties of different sizes and needs.''
