CLEVELAND � Oct. 27, 2010 � Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading
provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software
solutions, today announced that The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has selected
a comprehensive software suite for the 2,995-room property, which is scheduled
to open Dec. 15. The new luxury resort will implement Agilysys solutions
for property management, inventory and procurement, point of sale, condo
accounting and document management.
"A property of our size and scope requires powerful and reliable technology,
and the Agilysys solutions have successful track records at many of the
world's major casino-hotels," said Arthur Keith, general manager of The
Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. "Agilysys truly offers the 'total package,'
with a wide range of software solutions combined with knowledgeable and
professional sales and support staff. We look forward to implementing the
technology and are confident it will help us enhance efficiency, conserve
resources and capitalize on revenue opportunities."
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will use the following solutions from
Agilysys:
-
Lodging Management System® (LMS), a comprehensive property management
solution that automates every aspect of a hotel�s operations � from reservations
and credit card processing to accounting and housekeeping. One of the hospitality
and gaming industry�s most powerful property management systems, LMS interfaces
guest player accounts to the hotel booking engine, making it ideal for
large-scale operations. The property will use the LMS ResNet module to
enable online shoppers to book room reservations directly into the LMS
property management system, and the LMS ShowGate® module to provide
integrated attraction ticketing services with total venue management capability.
-
Stratton Warren System (SWS), a full-featured inventory and procurement
solution that maximizes purchasing power and reduces operational costs.
Recognized as a leading inventory and procurement system in the hospitality
industry, SWS automates the entire procurement process � from food and
beverage to general property materials � and provides a fast and measurable
return on investment by identifying the most suitable suppliers, reducing
labor costs and waste and helping eliminate time-consuming and error-prone
paper documents. Features of SWS version 8.2 include a new graphical user
interface, handheld computer store and forward enhancements, electronic
invoicing capabilities, budget tracking and improved security.
-
InfoGenesis� POS System, an award-winning point-of-sale software
solution that combines powerful reporting and configuration capabilities
in the back office with an easy-to-use touch-screen terminal application.
Designed for multi-unit operations common in hospitality environments,
the system can manage any combination of dining, bar, room service and
gift shop operations. Features of the InfoGenesis POS solution include
audit log and electronic journal, multi-language capability, packages and
prix fixe menus, signature capture and advanced sorting, filtering and
grouping options.
-
Visual One Condo Accounting System, a made-for-hospitality solution
designed to calculate the revenues and expenses between condominium owners
and the management company. Owner information is readily available to LMS
users and defaults from the Visual One Condo Accounting System when staff
makes a reservation for a condominium owner. The solution also provides
extensive reporting capabilities.
-
DataMagine� Document Management System, a patented solution that
automatically captures, indexes and archives all business-critical documents
and reports. The resort is using the DataMagine Signature Capture module
to digitally capture guest signatures at check-in and upon completion of
retail transactions. Signatures are stored for future online retrieval,
enabling quick settlement of disputes and eliminating write-offs.
"Managing a hotel profitably is always a challenge, particularly in a competitive
market like Las Vegas, and investing in the right technology is critical
to success," said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager
of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. "Our comprehensive solution suite
will help The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas operate at peak efficiency and
will ensure a superior guest experience from arrival through departure."

overlooking the heart of the Strip, directly between CityCenter and Bellagio.
