JUNE 11, 2008. Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, announced today that Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, S.C. has selected the Eatec inventory & procurement solution and the InfoGenesis POSTM solution to enhance efficiency and streamline operations at the 55-acre theme park, which opened in May.

"The Eatec and InfoGenesis solutions had all the functionality we needed, and they integrate well together," said Dave Montoya, senior director of information services for Hard Rock Park. "We are a Microsoft SQL Server shop, so it was critical that the solutions we selected play well with that. Also, the fact that the InfoGenesis solution handles both retail and food & beverage functions enabled us to save money and eliminate an entire system. These are robust solutions with a long lifespan, and Hard Rock Park will be able to use them well into the future."

The Eatec solution by Agilysys is a Microsoft Windows software-based, full-featured inventory and procurement solution designed especially for the foodservice and hospitality industries. Along with its core purchasing, inventory, recipe, forecasting, production and sales analysis functions, the system also offers modules for catering, concessions, restaurant and retail. The modular software structure enables customers to construct the exact set of features it needs - whether an enterprise-wide solution for multiple sites, or a single-site system for multiple functions. Hard Rock Park is using the Eatec inventory and procurement solution in 50 outlets, including retail shops and kiosks, table service and fast-food restaurants, and warehouses.

The InfoGenesis POS system combines the performance, familiarity and ease-of-use of Windows software with a relational database to deliver a powerful point-of-sale solution scalable enough for hospitality operations of all sizes. Designed for multi-unit operations commonly found in hospitality environments, the InfoGenesis POS can manage any combination of dining, bar service and gift shop operations. Features of the system include sorting, grouping and filtering options; real-time reporting capabilities; organizational controls; and advanced encryption tools. Approximately 150 food & beverage and retail terminals throughout Hard Rock Park use the InfoGenesis POS solution.

"Our leading edge inventory and POS solutions will enable Hard Rock Park to manage its many venues more effectively," said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. "These solutions are the most reliable, flexible and scaleable on the market and will enable the park to maximize profitability and reduce potential losses. Most importantly, this technology will streamline efficiency and enable Hard Rock Park to deliver an outstanding guest experience."

"To help drive differentiation in the guest experience, Agilysys and Microsoft are working together to provide hospitality customers like Hard Rock Park with the technology they need to perform at their highest level," said Sandra Andrews, U.S. hospitality industry solutions director, Microsoft Corp. "Agilysys offers software systems that have been proven in a variety of venues, from casinos and resorts to theme parks and stadiums. We are pleased to work together to deliver innovative solutions that empower employees to create more efficient business processes and superior guest experiences for hospitality organizations worldwide."
