NASHUA, NH, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
QED Connect, Inc., (PINKSHEETS: QEDC), an innovative
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for the information security
market, today announced the addition of the Empire Hotel Group, a
distinctive collection of five New York hotels, to its customer base. The
Empire Hotel Group implemented QED's flagship software, Omni Manager, to
help meet its business objectives of increasing employee productivity at
its reservation and front desk operations centers. Omni Manager is a
powerful tool for monitoring, managing and reporting on employee Internet
use, and also provides added security by blocking access to web sites that
could introduce viruses or malware onto the network. The Empire Hotel
Group currently has Omni Manager running at three of its five Manhattan
properties, including the Empire Luxury Collection's Lucerne Hotel and
Belvedere Hotel, and the Empire Collection's Travel Inn Hotel.
"We have different reservation centers in each hotel and found that some
of our reservationists were using the Internet for non-work related
purposes, which detracted from overall room sales," said Glenn Isaacs,
Vice President, Empire Hotel Group. "Omni Manager enabled us to block
access to certain Internet sites in shopping, social networking and other
categories that were taking up prime productive time. Omni Manager is
directly responsible for a 7% increase in the volume of reservations and
resulting revenue we've seen. Employees can now concentrate on critical
job functions instead of being distracted by the Internet."
Continues Isaacs, "We also looked into buying traditional software
solutions that would be manually installed on our computers, but realized
that a hosted solution like Omni Manager would be easier and more
cost-effective to administer and manage. The monthly subscription model is
efficient for us, and we never have to worry about software upgrades or
patches -- it all happens automatically."
