Paragon Selects Agilysys

Resort Implements Property Management, Procurement, Document Imaging Technology

BOCA RATON, FL, March 24, 2008. Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, announced today that Paragon Casino Resort in Marksville, La. has selected Agilysys to provide a wide range of software solutions for the 531-room property, which recently completed an expansion that added an eight-story atrium and more than 200 guest rooms.

Paragon Casino Resort wanted a suite of solutions that addressed all areas of hotel and casino operations. The Agilysys portfolio met the property’s requirements with software that automates property management, inventory and procurement and document management.

“Agilysys is recognized as an innovator in the hotel and casino market,” said Chad Bordelon, information technology director at Paragon Casino Resort. “The Lodging Management System (LMS) got its start in the gaming industry and has an unsurpassed track record, and the Materials Management System (MMS) provides a robust yet flexible inventory procurement system that can manage everything from casino to restaurant operations. We are confident these systems, along with the DataMagine™ document management solution, will improve efficiency and enhance guest service throughout the property.”

Paragon Casino Resort has implemented the following hospitality solutions from Agilysys:
--- Lodging Management System, a comprehensive property management solution that automates every aspect of the hotel’s operations. Paragon uses LMS ARTS®, an activities reservations tracking module, to manage the hotel’s various venues and place canceled activities back into inventory for resale; LMS ResNet™, a Web-based real-time reservation system, to enable online shoppers to book room reservations directly into the LMS property management system; and LMS ShowGate®, an attraction ticketing module, to provide show ticketing services with total venue management.
--- Materials Management System, a robust inventory and procurement solution that enables Paragon Casino Resort to maximize purchasing power and reduce revenue losses. The property uses the MMS Bar Coding module for wireless data collection of inventory; the MMS Menu/Recipe Analysis module to build recipes that maximize revenue; and the MMS Retail module to improve ordering accuracy.
--- DataMagine, a patented document management system that scans, indexes, stores and retrieves documents and reports for e-mailing, faxing or printing. Paragon is using the system to streamline recordkeeping and archive data, particularly in its accounting department.

“Paragon Casino Resort is making a strong commitment to guest service with its investment in property improvements, including new technology,” said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions. “Our comprehensive suite of property management, inventory procurement and document management solutions will help Paragon streamline operations and conserve resources as well as ensure an outstanding experience for its guests.”
