June 26, 2007, Orlando, FL - Topaz Hotel Services announces its use of AJAX Booking Engine technology for the Adelaide Inn website, www.adelaideinn.com.

It is now possible to fully integrate the reservations process into a hotel’s website with BookAbility 3™.  This new reservations system is comprised of a set of components that are integrated where desired, during the creation of the website itself. The web designer determines the placement of the booking system components, incorporating functionality into design.

“The new state of web technology now allows the flexibility of having a portion of a web page to be dynamically generated. This permits the page to act more like a traditional computer application. With no rigid format to follow, the designer is free to use creativity with both the form and the function of the website/reservation system,” stated Jackson Thompson, Topaz Director of Information Technology.

“The use of AJAX technology creates an informative, guest-specific experience, drawing the user more effortlessly through the hotel reservation process.  This ease of use improves the user experience with the aim of increasing website production,” said Eric Gustavson, President and Co-founder of Topaz.

Information, such as room rate and the availability of a particular room type, may be displayed on the website's “Specials” page, for example.  The user may select that room and continue with the booking process without the extra step of clicking “Reservations” to access the booking engine in order to see if the desired room is available before starting the reservation process.

BookAbility 3™,from Topaz Hotel Services, offers a new level of control and customizability to hotel websites. Through the componentization of the booking system elements, the reservation system can now be as unique as the property it represents.
