CLEVELAND ,Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced that its Technology Solutions Group (TSG) is launching its first-ever technology blog series. Located at http://www.agilysysnews.com, the blogs will feature three columns based on different technologies and will be authored by Agilysys subject matter experts who will post their insights in the fields of storage, backup and recovery, and general technology.

"Although launching a blog is not a new concept, it is a first for us and part of our aim to achieving the level of engagement, transparency and accessibility that our customers, partners and vendors should expect from their business partners," said Tony Mellina, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys TSG. "Our brightest technologists are genuinely interested in speaking from the heart about their deep expertise, which has been gained from building solutions for companies all over the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. It will be a thrill for us to engage in a dialogue with our customers and partners as we discuss what's at the center of business technology today."

To help further this goal, Agilysys has also launched an Online Newsroom, as well as a new presence on Twitter (@AgilysysTSG). Agilysys has actively used Vimeo and Facebook to showcase its Tete-A-Tech video series, which features a variety of business technology products designed to educate and enlighten IT professionals in five- to seven-minute video clips. The series highlights experts from Agilysys locations around the country and covers topics from Increasing Mobility and ROI with Desktop Virtualization to Making Storage Leaner, Greener and Faster.

The Company will be using its technology blogs to further extend its reach and accessibility, with future blogs planned in additional areas of expertise, such as security, virtualization and cloud computing.
