Hotel Technology Next Generation

BOCA RATON, Fla.| Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGYS) , a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced it has acquired Stack Computer, a privately held company based in Irvine, Calif. Stack is a premier technology integrator with a strong focus in high availability storage infrastructure solutions. Stack's customers, primarily concentrated on the West Coast, include leading corporations in the financial services, healthcare and manufacturing industries.

Stack also operates a highly sophisticated solution center, which is used to emulate customer IT environments, train staff and evaluate technology. The center allows customers to preview and test their solution designs prior to implementation. This facility has enabled Stack to position itself as the number one Advanced Customer Test and Beta Site for EMC for the past six years. In addition, the center allows Stack to test and evaluate SAN products for both Cisco and Veritas, along with other suppliers. Agilysys plans to make this facility available to current and future customers for testing and providing proof of concept for various enterprise solutions.

"The acquisition of Stack strategically provides Agilysys with product solutions and services offerings that significantly enhance our existing storage and professional services businesses," said Arthur Rhein, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys. "As one of EMC's largest resellers, Stack has a deep bench of talented, technical experts with a vast array of knowledge to be leveraged. This acquisition epitomizes the strategic fit and focus that we are looking for in building shareholder and customer value following the just-completed divestiture of our former KeyLink Systems Distribution Business."

The purchase further diversifies the Agilysys supplier and revenue base and, combined with its business prior to the acquisition, positions Agilysys as a leading EMC storage partner. Agilysys now expects more than 13% of its revenues will be derived from EMC storage products and software.

Rhein said the acquisition also provides Agilysys an opportunity to sell Stack's industry-recognized storage-related services to Agilysys customers. Similarly, Stack customers will benefit from access to Agilysys current solutions offerings.

The $28 million transaction was funded by cash and closed earlier today. Stack has annual revenues of approximately $55 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margins of approximately 8%. The company's product category sales mix consists of approximately 62% hardware, 27% software and 11% services.
