First all in one Microsoft based Hotel & Hospitality Software Solution Hits the UK
One Solution, One Database, All Microsoft.
17th February 2008 – London, Leading Hotel Software Solution provider Cenium AS has today officially launched the start of a UK Operation.
The new board of Directors recently met to sign the contracts of the newly formed company. Cenium UK Ltd will be implementing the all in one Hotel & Hospitality Management and Hospitality System Internationally. Some key hotel chains have already expressed an interest in the software that so many hoteliers are talking about and it is already being installed in a UK Hotel group.
Cenium is the developer of the Hotel Management System which is built on the award winning Microsoft Dynamics NAV, which is already used worldwide.
Hotels around the globe use Cenium as it is, flexible, adaptable, easy to use and helps to ensure a considerably improved customer ‘guest’ experience. Clients include Choice Hotels, where over 200 hotels across Europe are using the solution to manage their business.
Paul White, UK Director Microsoft Dynamics welcomes Cenium UK into the partner community ‘We believe that the hotel sector has historically been poorly served – a very limited number of vendors have offered poor service and solutions that have offered very limited front and back office integration. We believe that Cenium are well placed to change this.’
Klaus Hatle, CEO, Cenium AS commented ‘I am very impressed with the UK team; they already have the skills, knowledge and tools to implement this first class system into many hotels. We have carefully looked at the UK market and believe that many organisations can benefit from Cenium. It took us a while to look for the right partner in the UK but Peter and his team understand the customer’s business needs which is imperative to any successful business; it’s a very exciting time.’
Cenium UK’s Managing Director Peter Lingham, who has been working with Microsoft Dynamics NAV for over 10 years commented, ‘We are very excited about Cenium, having spent so much time away from home staying in hotels you get to know the areas in which all hotels need to improve. We honestly believe that we can make a difference in this market for so many hoteliers both in terms of the all in one product offering and the after sales service. Also the customer will see major improvements, making the ‘Customer Experience’ so much easier and more enjoyable which will return clients to hotels. It’s a win win situation for everybody.’
The Cenium product is based on the Microsoft SQL platform with a standardised user interface. The Cenium software consists of a number of interchangeable modules that can be customised to suit the needs of large hotel chains or provide the complete platform for an individual hotel to optimise its business opportunity. Cenium provides a business solution that is both user friendly and at the same time supplies real time data to its users allowing maximisation of business potential. The Cenium suite can include the following modules:
All based on Microsoft’s Dynamics NAV platform - so NO Integration issues.
- PMS
- Management Overview
- Central Reservations
- Internet Reservations
- Housekeeping
- Conference and Banqueting
- Revenue and Yield Management
- Restaurants
- Resort Management (Including Spa, Golf & Rentals)

The solution provides interfaces to all key devices including the following:

There really is no other Hotel Management Software quite like it, One Solution, One Database, ALL Microsoft.
