MINNEAPOLIS, MN— Based on success with its Radisson brand, Carlson Hotels Worldwide has expanded its agreement with Lanyon for RFPpublisher, its global RFP solution, to include all its brands. RFPpublisher will now roll out to Regent International Hotels, Country Inns & Suites By Carlson and Park Inn and Park Plaza Hotels in North America. Jack Geddes, vp/sales for Radisson Hotels & Resorts, said, “We recommended and are expanding our agreement with RFPpublisher for all our brands because of its huge success with Radisson last year. With 430 Radisson hotels and resorts around the world, most of them franchises, its a huge challenge to collect and process information from all our properties simultaneously. Before RFPpublisher, we used many vehicles just to get the information to and from our properties, including mail, phone calls, e-mail, faxes and many other slow and costly manual processes to meet our bid deadlines. Geddes added, “We have a solution that streamlines the data collection and management processes…and we can amend them rapidly by brand, by region, by property when business conditions change… Now all of our properties are able to generate electronic RFPs via Lanyon.
