Shares in Fusionex International gained on Tuesday after the software company announced it had won a multi-year contract from Galaxy Entertainment Group, an operator of resort facilities in Asia, to upgrade its big data platform to its hotel partners, which include Ritz-Carlton, Okura, Banyan Tree and JW Marriott.
