Agilisys Helps General Healthcare Group Improve Patient Services and Reduce Costs With End-to-end Management of RIS-PACS Platform

LONDON, April 29, 2010 - Agilisys, the UK's most innovative IT services and outsourcing provider,
today announced that it has been awarded a 10-year contract by General
Healthcare Group, the UK's largest independent healthcare provider, to manage
their Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and Picture Archiving and
Communications Systems (PACS).

Agilisys has for a number of years been delivering services to GHG
including outpatient scheduling, patient demographic systems and IT
integration and consultancy services. The new contract further expands the
relationship to include the management of the end-to-end RIS-PACS system for
GHG, delivering improved system reliability, performance and scalability.

Ron Reynolds, Agilisys MD of Healthcare comments: "We're delighted to
continue our work with GHG as we collaborate to deliver improved patient care
and cost savings. This is also a fantastic endorsement of the quality of work
we have been delivering to GHG for a number of years, and further establishes
us as a provider of choice for the Healthcare Sector. I believe we offer our
customers a very compelling combination of skills including an innovative
approach, healthcare-specific technical expertise, and strong programme
management."

Dan Morgan, IT Director, General Healthcare Group added: "This was a
natural and strategic extension of the Agilisys partnership model we have
enjoyed over the last few years. By aligning the capabilities of our systems,
and ensuring they are managed within a healthcare-centric environment, we can
ensure our RIS-PACS Platform continues to enjoy the innovation and
scalability that is critical for our continued growth. The key success factor
is that it continues to meet the demanding needs of our front-line staff.
However, our history with Agilisys demonstrates that their deeper involvement
across yet another area of our business will enable GHG to successfully
deploy this service to our business more effectively."
