The story so far

Our Culture of Revenue Management
Over Time

IDeaS (Integrated Decisions and Systems, Inc.) began in 1989 when two revenue scientists decided it was time for a more impactful approach to revenue management. Since then, IDeaS—now owned by SAS—has transformed into a leading provider of revenue management and profit optimization software and services for hospitality organizations worldwide.

A company that wants to succeed must always be evolving. It must listen to its customers. It must look to the future and always strive to be better for its clients. Here is our history of IDeaS milestones achieved over the years.
