Paragon Gaming Selects Infinium Software, Inc. to Provide Infor Financial and Performance Management Applications

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- (G2E Conference) -- Infor today announced Paragon Gaming, a developer and operator of gaming based properties, has selected its financial and performance management applications to provide real-time visibility into the gaming company's business. Sold through Infinium Software, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infor, Infor FMS SunSystems and Infor PM Planning and Budgeting will seamlessly integrate within Paragon's diverse technology infrastructure, including its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas and three properties in Canada, on Microsoft SQL servers. They will provide company-wide insight into its operations, including those of third parties, and each department's impact on business performance.

"The gaming industry is very data intensive, and being able to utilize that data as efficiently as possible is central to our operational strategy," said Justin Kolb, chief financial officer, Paragon Gaming. "Our business must be as agile as possible to continue offering the excitement and services that keep our customers coming back. The ability to gain a single, integrated view of our operations and analyze this data quickly is a key enabler of our ability to ensure that each of our properties will profitably deliver a great customer experience."

The gaming industry generates volumes of data from every department, including food and beverage, marketing, operations, gaming, retail, and hotel. The financial system integrates flexible transaction processing with real-time analysis, extensive reporting, and powerful budgeting and forecasting capabilities. Combined with sophisticated planning and budgeting software, Paragon Gaming has access to daily reports with actionable information on the performance of the casino and its many departments.

"Paragon Gaming highlights the complexity that lies within gaming companies -- several systems in multiple departments with a lot of financial and statistical information to be captured and the need for this information to be actionable," said Debbie Hawkins, vice president, Hospitality Solutions Group, Infor.

"Infor and its Infinium subsidiary bring more than 25 years of domain experience in gaming and hospitality and offer business-specific applications for a variety of technology infrastructures. This combination creates enhanced value for our customers and enables us to meet their specific needs today while providing the foundation for efficient operations tomorrow."

PAS, an Infor implementation partner with more than 15 years experience in the hospitality industry, will provide the unique skill sets required to ensure proper implementation of the solution throughout Paragon Gaming's properties.
