| December
10th, 2004: My Tropical Islands- One
Day in Paradise- Powered By 3CIntegra!
Duesseldorf
/ Krausnick: The former "Cargolifter"-location
is pretty much known to the German
people for their innovative, but obviously
too expensive idea to build a zeppelin,
carrying heavy and bulky cargo goods
over high ranges.
After
a complete conversion of the original
industry-ground into a tropical paradise,
the "Dome" will open it’s
gates to the public on December 19th,
2004 by expecting at least 2,6 Million
visitors per annum in their world-wide
one-of-a-kind property.
By
offering their guests a maximum of
guest services and attendance, the
decision to use 3C Communications
for the acceptance of all credit cards
and the German Eurochequecard underlines
the high expectations of the location,
to be a full-service "theme park"
and helps the location to the reduce
costs and operational work to a minimum.

November
30th, 2004 - TGIF Scandinavia extends
their cooperation with 3C!
During
the first days of December TGIF will
go live together with 3C, on their
two locations in Oslo, TGIF Karl Johan
& TGIF Klingenberg.
This means that TGIF has taken the
step of using the same partner for
their credit card on all their Scandinavian
locations, 2 in Sweden and 3 in Norway.
The two locations in Oslo have both
prime locations, and especially the
one based on Karl Johan, which is
more or less neighboured with the
Grand Hotel. With Squirrell supplying
the POS system, and 3C for the credit
card handling, that means a solution
that has been well tested for a few
years, on the two TGIF locations in
Stockholm. Using one supplier will
enable TGIF to receive and monitor
on a headquarter level, the progress
and volumes for each locations and
also on a total basis.
