MOSCOW, RUSSIA, September 20, 2001 - HRS - Hotel and Restaurant Systems, a leading software developer of country specific solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced its upcoming TRAKO installation in "Regent Almaty The Ankara Hotel" (Almaty, Kazakhstan).

"This is a nice achievement for our company as the Regent Almaty The Ankara Hotel will become our first TRAKO installation in Central Asia", said Vasily Nedospasov, HRS Sales Manager.

Hospitality professionals designed TRAKO for hospitality professionals. Most important is that users have a full recording of all transactions both monetary and non-monetary from all customers and all accounts. TRAKO, an AMS offering from HRS, integrates with MICROS point of sale systems giving users diverse marketing functions to secure the loyalty of repeat guests. In addition to data base management, TRAKO interfaces with other 3rd party software, allows for the creation of separate client accounts, provides a mechanism for card issuance and includes a complete set of report options. One of the strongest features of TRAKO is its report writing capabilities and its ability to track multiple accounts across a range of account types - corporate, family or individual.

"As HRS is our partner in automation, we trust this company. One of the main reasons why we have chosen TRAKO is that it can be easily installed by HRS specialists with our requirements without any modification", - said Anil Kumar P. Anandan, EDP Manager of Regent Almaty The Ankara Hotel.
