(Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software solutions, announced today that Cheeca Lodge & Spa in Islamorada, Fla. has selected a comprehensive suite of solutions to streamline operations at the upscale hotel and condominium property, which will re-open in December after extensive renovations. The resort is implementing solutions for property management, point-of-sale, guest marketing and document management.

"Agilysys provided the total package, with well-designed systems that work together to deliver measurable results. We are confident these solutions will improve productivity, give us more control over our business and enable us to manage day-to-day operations more efficiently."

· Visual One Property Management System,a comprehensive and fully integrated property management solution that offers a wide range of features and functionality, including front office operations, guest history, housekeeping, reservations management and more. Cheeca Lodge & Spa will use the Visual One Activities module to schedule and manage the resort's amenities and activities; the Visual One Club Management System to create and monitor memberships in Cheeca Lodge & Club; and the Visual One Condo Accounting System to manage the property's condominium rentals. The resort will also implement the Visual One Retail POS System to manage the property's retail outlets; the Visual One Sales & Catering module to manage conference and banquet operations; and the Visual One Spa Management System to track spa employee work schedules, make spa appointments and send e-mail confirmations to spa guests.

· InfoGenesis POS™, an enterprise-ready point-of-sale solution that combines powerful reporting and configuration capabilities with a touch-screen terminal application. The system's centralized database pulls together food and beverage functions, enabling total management of dining, bar and room service operations. Features include real-time reporting capabilities and advanced sorting, filtering and grouping options. Cheeca Lodge & Spa also will use the mPOS mobile point-of-sale solution for food and beverage service at poolside and at other locations around the property.

· Guest eMarketing (GeM), a feature-rich guest correspondence and marketing management solution that enables properties to create cost-effective and highly personalized e-mail campaigns. Using GeM, Cheeca Lodge & Spa can increase profitability through targeted promotional offers, reminders, newsletters and surveys and obtain data that leads to improved performance.
