They demonstrated a good understanding of what we were trying to achieve and delivered a good quality solution on time and to budget".

"The WebRes technology implementation for easyHotel took approximately 8 weeks to configure, build and test" said Simon Ashberry, Director of Entee Global Services.  
 
The WebRes architecture is built exclusively on Internet technology and incorporates the Microsoft server and relational database architectures to meet the high performance requirements demanded by easyHotel.  
 
WebRes is designed to meet the low cost business model and is particularly appropriate to new start up organisations.  
 
Ashberry added, "WebRes is being adopted on a global basis by forward looking organisations in all types of travel transportation sectors. You will find our technology in the ferry, train, hotel, cruise, bus and flight markets; adding hotels to our portfolio, and working with easyHotel is not only exciting, but also demonstrates the confidence easyGroup has in Entee's abilities, technology and support."
