‘Weekendjeweg.nl' renews contract for 4 years with Schuberg Philis
Fast and 'right first time' changes for an all-inclusive fixed fee leads to renewal of contract
Amsterdam, 10 October 2007 - Bookit, a subsidiary of the Holidaybreak Group and provider of the successful website ‘Weekendjeweg.nl', has renewed its outsourcing contract with Schuberg Philis for another four years. Schuberg Philis will remain responsible for managing Bookit's business-critical internet environment, supporting their online sales via www.Weekendjeweg.nl, www.BungalowS.nl, www.Hotelletje.nl, www.Citytripper.nl and www.Nachtjeweg.nl.
Bookit is the market leading online intermediary for short stay leisure hotel breaks in the Netherlands. As of May 2001, the website ‘Weekendejeweg.nl' has been continually in the top 10 of most visited travel sites in the Netherlands. This website underlines the importance of internet in booking holidays; it has a conversion rate of two bookings per 100 visitors and 50.000 unique visitors a day. The website ‘Weekendjeweg.nl' has won amongst others the prize for best website of the year 2006. Over the last three years, Schuberg Philis improved Bookit's mission critical internet infrastructure and at the same time placed strong emphasis on integration of service management. As a result of this integration, Bookit can execute changes rapidly without compromising control or 100% availability. Bookit can therefore keep pace with constant developments in the industry and even remain ahead of competitors.
Managing Director Karel Vos of Bookit: “We appreciate working together with Schuberg Philis on the controlled development of our mission critical internet infrastructure. They facilitate our business growth by fast and right first time changes while maintaining their all-inclusive fixed fee proposition. In our heavily competitive industry this is a pre-condition for growth.”
Pim Berger, Managing Director of Schuberg Philis: “Bookit is the biggest player in the online sales for short stay leisure hotel breaks. Obviously, we're very proud that Bookit remains our customer and pleased that we're able to continue to support their growth and success via our services.”
