FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Agilysys Updates Guidance for Fiscal 2005

CLEVELAND — April 20, 2005 — Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of enterprise computer solutions, today announced that it anticipates fiscal 2005 sales of approximately $1.62 billion, or 16 percent growth over the prior year, and fiscal 2005 earnings between $0.70 and $0.74 per diluted share versus $0.31 for fiscal 2004. This update compares with previous fiscal 2005 guidance of approximately 20 percent sales growth and anticipated earnings of $0.90 to $0.93 per share for fiscal 2005.

The Company stated that weaker than forecasted fourth quarter sales were largely due to lower than expected sales volumes in its distribution channel, KeyLink Systems, which generates most of its revenues from the sale of IBM enterprise hardware and software products. Fourth quarter softness in sales was also experienced in the company’s enterprise solutions group. As a result of the significantly weaker sales volume and lower than expected supplier incentives, overall gross margins and profitability were negatively impacted.

Arthur Rhein, Agilysys chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “This is the first time I can recall that the strength in sales volume we typically experience in the final weeks of a quarter didn’t materialize. Despite my disappointment with what I currently believe was an abnormally soft fourth quarter and with our results for the quarter, I am pleased with our full-year performance and the improvement over the prior year.”

Agilysys will issue fiscal 2005 fourth quarter and full year earnings on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 and hold a conference call to discuss the results and fiscal 2006 expectations at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be broadcast live over the Internet and a replay will be accessible on the investor relations page of the company’s Web site: www.agilysys.com.
