Microsoft Keeps Australia's Favourite Theme Parks Running Hot

Overview Located on the Gold Coast, three of Australia's most popular theme parks and the Sea World Nara Resort are jointly operated by The Warner Village Theme Park Group, owned by the U.S. - based Time Warner (now part of AOL) and Melbourne entertainment operator Village Roadshow. The parks attract around three million local and overseas visitors to Queensland's southeast corner every year. With a fast-moving operation covering scores of divisional outlets from ticketing to merchandising, restaurants, and the hotel, Warner Village Theme Parks required a new financial management system that could successfully monitor the company's theme park business. After discussing the options available with their IT services provider, Dialog Information Technology, Warner Village decided to migrate its financial operations to Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
