Next-Generation Property Management Solution . |
BOCA RATON, Fla. � June 23, 2008 � Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, including specifically-designed hospitality software solutions, has announced the beta site for Guest 360°�, the company�s next-generation property management solution. Guest 360°, which was recognized as �Best New Technology� at HITEC 2007, is on schedule for beta testing in November 2008 with Hutton Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., a 250-room upscale property developed and managed by Amerimar Enterprises, Inc. �We are excited about this new technology from Agilysys and look forward to implementing it,� said Steven P. André, general manager at Hutton Hotel, which is scheduled to open in early 2009. �Guest 360° is not just another property management system. It will enable us to actually anticipate guest needs. We want to stand out from the crowd by providing a flawless guest experience, and we are confident this solution will help us achieve that goal.� Guest 360° is an open database and cross-platform property management system that utilizes Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide a highly scaleable and flexible solution for hotels and resorts of all sizes as well as multi-property operations. SOA enables Guest 360° to be tailored to a hotel�s business processes and allows for flexible integration with other software solutions. Features of Guest 360° include: an attributes-based, flexible inventory engine; an innovative offer and rating system; and Guest Hub, a centralized repository for guest profiles, including history, itineraries, interests and preferences. The result is a solution that provides a true 360 degree view of the guest. Guest 360° was based on key functionality found in current Agilysys property management solutions, user recommendations, and industry trends, such as guest-oriented reservation management. The system�s intuitive features move beyond traditional property management to assist in predicting guest preferences and make suggestions based on guest recognition designed to increase revenue and profitability. �Guest 360° goes beyond just tracking reservations and performing check-in and check-out,� said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. �By capturing guest events, information and preferences, the system enables hotels to truly know their guests and realize a competitive advantage. Guest 360° takes property management to a new level of effectiveness with innovative technology that addresses the areas that matter most to our customers and their guests.� About Agilysys, Inc.
