STATABILITY AND DATABEACON OFFER AD-HOC REPORTING AND ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES TO GLOBAL HOSPITALITY INDUSTRYATLANTA, GA – JULY 10, 2002 — Statability, a U.S. company that provides Web-based, multi-unit operations reporting, has teamed up with Databeacon, a Canadian developer of data publishing, analysis and reporting software, to offer Databeacon's software to Statability's global roster of hospitality industry customers. The addition of Databeacon's technology allows Statability to provide its reporting system customers with self-serve drill-down analysis on key business trends in hospitality operations data. With the integration of Databeacon's advanced analytics, Statability's end users will now be able to prepare powerful, personalized reports to better understand the key factors that impact their businesses. These reports provide hotel and restaurant managers as well as staff members at every level with actionable feedback on progress and can highlight segments of the business that may need additional training or support. Other reports compare business unit operational results to specific goals of the parent company to challenge teams and keep score of their progress against service-standard and financial objectives. "The addition of powerful, customizable analytics is an important step in the evolution of the hospitality industry," said Andrew Coutts, President and CEO of Databeacon. "Initially, it was sufficient for hotel and restaurant managers to simply organize data and provide a system infrastructure. Then came canned, one-size-fits-all reporting that ultimately was inadequate for the majority of global hospitality operations. Statability has now taken a leadership role in providing hospitality managers access to flexible, customizable data analysis and reporting features that will help build better businesses, and ultimately, a stronger hospitality services sector." "We knew Databeacon's analysis tool was a perfect fit for Statability because of its unparalleled ease of use and fast integration with existing data sources and system infrastructures," said Statability's co-founder Michael Goldenberg. "End users will now be able to optimize Databeacon's Web-based analytics to tailor their reports and drill down to minute detail. This gives hotel and restaurant managers the means to analyze operational data in a variety of ways and create personalized views with little or no advanced training It adds up to tremendous value and competitive advantage for Statability's customers."
