CLEVELAND � April 4, 2005
� Agilysys, Inc., (NASDAQ: AGYS) a leading provider of enterprise computer
solutions and hospitality software solutions, announced that the Las Vegas
Hilton has selected the Lodging Management System (LMS), as well as modules
LMS ShowGate and LMS ShowNet, to streamline operations at the 3,000-room
property. The Las Vegas Hilton is owned by Colony Capital, LLC, Los Angeles.
LMS is an integrated property management software system designed to create economies of scale and provide greater control of front office, accounting and housekeeping operations. The versatile front-office system easily expands to incorporate additional software modules from Agilysys and other vendors. �We needed a robust and comprehensive property management system that was designed to handle a hotel and casino operation of our size,� said Marc Guarino, vice president of information technology for the Las Vegas Hilton. �The flexibility and functionality of LMS allows us to improve efficiency and enhance guest service.� LMS ShowGate and LMS ShowNet work with the LMS property management system to provide integrated theater, stadium and attraction ticketing services with total venue management capability. The software offers a wide variety of features and functionality such as choice of ticket assignment, configurable controls, file maintenance and listing and numerous method-of-payment options. The software also allows hotels to comp tickets or charge them to a guest�s room or credit card. The Las Vegas Hilton is using the system for ticketing at the 1,638-seat Hilton Theater and for the 300-seat Shimmer Cabaret. �In addition to a property management system, we needed a complete suite of applications to allow us to remain competitive in the market,� said Guarino. �Our decision to go with ShowGate, the LMS theater ticketing module, was based on its ability to easily integrate with LMS. With our recent signing of Barry Manilow to a long-term engagement, we needed a ticketing system that would allow us not only to handle large volumes of ticket purchases at the property, but also give us the ability to sell tickets on the Internet. As the Las Vegas Hilton continues to bring big name entertainers to Las Vegas, we are confident that we have the proper systems in place to offer our customers high levels of service.� �The Las Vegas Hilton�s decision to implement LMS and its modules LMS ShowGate and LMS ShowNet clearly demonstrates a commitment to guest service,� said Bill Lashley, senior vice president and general manager, Agilysys, Hospitality Solutions. �We are confident our products will take the hotel to a new level of effectiveness.� About Agilysys, Inc.
