| The data used for the iTIMS
section of the TIMS - iTIMS
Reports is extracted from Internet travel and hotel-brand websites using
an exclusive program. The program was developed to quickly and efficiently
seek-out hotel rates from over 20 travel websites and 50 hotel-brand websites.
The program was also developed for automated reporting searches and for
online, 'user-guided' searches. The iTIMS
Online program gives subscribers the ability to generate reports on-demand
using data retrieved live, directly from each of the selected travel and
hotel websites. All data for the TIMS - iTIMS
Reports is less than twelve (12) hours old upon delivery. All data for
the iTIMS Online
Reports is live and immediately available on screen. |

 |
| To ensure the accuracy and integrity of all TIMS - iTIMS
Reports, we have developed strict control procedures including a unique
process of verifying all the rates available at each hotel. Since each
report is held up to our strict standards, our subscriber can trust our
information and make the best revenue management decisions possible. Access
to iTIMS
Online is contolled through unique electronic identifiers and of course,
user names and passwords. However, it is important for our subscribers
to manage their own access to the Online program and to change user names
and passwords after any personnel change. |
