Question:
Hi Everyone, I received this press release from the Allin Corporation and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news’ postings, they are archived on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com PITTSBURGH, Feb. 22 Allin Corporation (Nasdaq: ALLN) announced that it has reached an agreement with Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL), to deliver Allin’s interactive television solution to six Carnival Cruise Lines’ vessels. Under the terms of the master agreement, Allin will design, develop and deploy the interactive television system specifically for Carnival. This agreement also provides Allin with an opportunity to deliver the interactive television solution to other Carnival Corporation cruise line brands. Allin will deliver a state-of-the-art interactive television system and use the latest in web technology to provide Carnival’s guests with the convenience of using their staterooms’ TV sets to access a variety of electronic commerce services such as previewing and reserving shore excursions, watching on-demand movies and informational videos, ordering room service, and reviewing their folio accounts and shipboard activities. Allin’s interactive television solution will interface with the vessel’s hotel management system to allow direct billing to guests’ accounts for e-commerce transactions processed through the interactive television system. The development of the system software includes functional aspects of the system, such as the desired interactive modules and the navigation of the system, as well as creative aspects, including the look and feel of the system. Giora Israel, Carnival Corporation’s vice president of strategic planning commented, “Allin offers a user friendly interactive television system tailored to meet Carnival’s rigid guest service standards. Their understanding of the cruise industry combined with their technical expertise was very important to us. We are optimistic that the interactive television system will further enhance the Carnival cruise experience.” “Systems we have designed, developed and integrated into the cruise ship environment have successfully processed millions of dollars worth of transactions for our cruise line clients in real time. As the leader in this industry, working with Carnival Corporation has been a desire of ours for some time,” commented Rich Talarico, CEO of Allin. “The size of the commitment that Carnival has made to interactive television clearly indicates the confidence that Carnival has shown in choosing Allin to support their efforts in this important area.” About Carnival Corporation Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL – news) is comprised of Carnival Cruise Lines, the world’s largest cruise line based on passengers carried, Holland America Line, Windstar Cruises, Cunard Line, Seabourn Cruise Line and Costa Crociere.
