Inn on Bourbon Selects LMS ResNet Reservations
Software; Web-Enabled System Offers
Convenience and Efficiency
CLEVELAND � Nov. 4, 2004 � Agilysys, Inc., (NASDAQ: AGYS) a leading provider of enterprise computer solutions and hospitality software solutions, announced that Inn on Bourbon in New Orleans has selected the LMS ResNet reservation system from Agilysys to provide ebusiness room bookings for guests. The software integrates seamlessly with the LMS property management system, which the hotel was already using.

LMS ResNet is a Web-based real-time reservation system that allows customers to check hotel room and rate availability, book reservations, pay for a room with a credit card and receive an e-mail confirmation. However, unlike many online reservation systems that require guests to e-mail a request for a room and hotel staff to complete the actual reservation process, LMS ResNet requires no staffing. Instead, all booking is handled through the hotel�s own computer.

In setting up an online reservation system, guest convenience was the hotel�s number one priority, said Lorna Danielson, hotel manager at Inn on Bourbon. �With LMS ResNet, guests can book reservations in a matter of minutes.� What�s more, the system helps the hotel tap into a growing market. �We�re now reaching people who prefer to conduct business online, and that group is increasing all the time.�

�Guests at Inn on Bourbon will now be able to book rooms online 24 hours a day using the same business rules that apply to calling a traditional �800� number,� said Bill Lashley, senior vice president and general manager, Agilysys, Hospitality Solutions. �We are confident that LMS ResNet will increase efficiency and add value to the property�s operations.�
