PARSIPPANY, N.J. and SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Dec. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotel Group and Sabre Corporation announced today a global strategic technology partnership which will provide cloud-based, cutting-edge Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) reservations, revenue management and enhanced security solutions to Wyndham Hotel Group properties, making the Hotel Group the first large global company to leverage Sabre's SynXis Enterprise Platform.
