MOSCOW, RUSSIA, February 12, 2002 - HRS - Hotel and Restaurant Systems, a leading software developer of country specific solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced the installation of TRAKO in the Senate of Italy. This is the first government institution to have chosen TRAKO as its account management solution.

The Senate of Italy uses Micros workstations to run its quick service dining outlets. Keeping track of Senators, staff and an array of dignitaries and international guests on the grounds of the Italian Senate created a very specific environment in which TRAKO would have to operate. The Italian Senate required special routing capabilities, comprehensive security functionality, statement generation and the ability to issue quickly multiple accounts across an array of account types - all in a high volume atmosphere. Such stringent requirements brought them to TRAKO developers. "Governments are by nature demanding," said Sergei Gavriluk, Development Manager for HRS, "and require flexible, reliable and stable solutions with little or no margin for error."

In addition to interfacing seamlessly with MICROS POS workstations, TRAKO will account for more than 5,000 active users on an ongoing basis at the Italian Senate managing payments, allocations and individual accounts while maintaining the proper back office audit trails for all monetary and non-monetary transactions. "Account management software is not industry specific," says Irina Vasilieva, TRAKO Specialist. "Any large organization such as a government institution like the Italian Senate interested in keeping a usable database of preferred customers and marketing to them can benefit from TRAKO."
