“The MICROS OPERA Enterprise Solution has provided Louvre Hotels Group a superior technology platform on which to centralize our complete enterprise,” stated Thierry Guiraudios, CIO Louvre Hotels Group. “The addition of the Tulip branded hotels to the reservation system finally unifies all of our properties onto a single platform, allowing Louvre to more effectively manage its room inventory and distribution. MICROS OPERA 9 allows us to take advantage of next generation technologies that prepare us for the future.”
