BOCA RATON, Fla. � July 14, 2008 � Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a
leading provider of innovative IT solutions, including specifically-designed
hospitality software solutions, has announced that Savan Vegas Hotel &
Casino in Savannakhet, Laos has selected a comprehensive portfolio of software
solutions to increase efficiency and enhance guest service at the 180-room
luxury property, scheduled to open in September. Savan Vegas Hotel &
Casino is managed by Sanum Investments, Ltd.
The property was looking for a single vendor to provide a suite of solutions
that addressed all facets of hotel and casino operations. It also wanted
systems that were reliable and user-friendly. The Agilysys portfolio provided
that suite, with software that automates property management, inventory
and procurement, point-of-sale and document management.
�When investigating property management and point-of-sale solutions
for our property in Laos, we wanted systems that were proven, scalable
and easy to integrate with other applications like casino management, player
tracking and financial management,� said Glen Hunter, vice president of
information technology at Sanum Investments, Ltd. �We also wanted enterprise
solutions that would allow us to add and manage other properties from a
single location. The Agilysys software solutions met our criteria, and
the fact that they run on IBM iSeries eased our system reliability concerns.
We look forward to implementing the Agilysys solutions and developing a
long-term working relationship with the company.�

Agilysys:

and book reservations directly into the LMS property management system.
