CLEVELAND -Jan. 12, 2012 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AGYS), a leading developer and
marketer of proprietary software, services and solutions to
the hospitality and retail industries, today announced an
updated publication of its 2011 white paper
"Design and Deliver Mobile
Point-of-Service."
"In 2011, the promise of mobile point-of-service in
retail was validated. Retailers have seen how the solution
can enhance the consumer's shopping experience and have
proven its viability as an alternative with more convenience
to fixed-function POS registers," said Aaron Hagler, vice
president of Solutions Delivery for Agilysys Retail Solutions
Group. "However, we found that, although retailers understand
the 'why,' they are eager to comprehend the 'how.' This white
paper is designed to give retailers insight into how to plan,
create, deploy and maintain a cost-effective MPOS
solution."
Hagler added that retailers need to be cognizant of the
fact that a mobile point-of-sale application is just one
component and the foundation for a mobile point-of-service
solution, with its multichannel and enterprise integration
reaching beyond POS to other store-based, eCommerce and host
systems. "Mobility is the driving force for the convergence
of point-of-sale, loyalty and payment systems across the
store. The value of Agilysys' heritage and perspective in
these solution technologies stems not only from its ability
to observe, analyze and advise, but also from many years of
hands-on experience in designing, implementing and supporting
mobile, POS, loyalty, and store systems."
Agilysys provides comprehensive wireless-related
product and service solutions with best-of-breed solution
partners. The Company works beside its clients from inception
through completion with full life-cycle management
capabilities, and employs a deeply experienced and skilled
Mobility and POS team that is unparalleled in the industry.
The Agilysys team includes:

requirements for systems and operational
integration;
· Pre-sales wireless
specialists;
· Systems integration professionals
with complete project management expertise;

testing experts;

demonstrated proficiency in a variety of mobile device
management solutions;
· Implementation and installation
authorities;
· Help desk and support
professionals with unlimited availability; and
· Managed Services for the
management, deployment and monitoring of
devices.
"This combination of technology expertise, customer
focus and industry knowledge allows us to offer solutions
that go far beyond that which is typical today. In order to
enhance the value we provide, we continue to strategically
expand those solutions," Hagler concluded.
