Agilysys Sells Hospitality Suite to New Laotian Casino

July 22, 2008 Alex Woodie

Agilysys may be looking to sell its entire company, but that’s not stopping it from selling its suite of popular i OS-based hospitality solutions, which are used by much of the Vegas Strip and many of the largest hotels in the world. The latest company to license the collection is Savan Vegas Hotel & Casino, a new 180-room luxury property in Savannakhet, Laos.

When the Savan Vegas opens in September, it will be the first five-star hotel and entertainment complex in Savannakhet Province, a region in southern Laos that borders Vietnam and Thailand, and which is perhaps best known for containing the famous Ho Chi Minh Trail. With a 58,000-square-foot casino, two restaurants, a coffee shop, a bar, and a spa, the $25 million Savan Vegas will provide a place for travelers to play.

Most of the customer- and partner-facing processes at the new hotel and casino will be driven by a quartet of Agilysys applications. These include two i OS-based applications, the Lodging Management System (LMS) and a procurement management system called Stratton Warren System (SWS), and two Windows-based systems, the InfoGenesis point of sale (POS) system and the DataMagine document management system.

One of the main reasons Savan Vegas picked the Agilysys collection is because it could get everything needed from a single vendor, according to Glen Hunter, vice president of information technology at Sanum Investments.

“We wanted systems that were proven, scalable, and easy to integrate with other applications like casino management, player tracking, and financial management,” Hunter says. “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.”

While the core of Agilysys’ hospitality applications run on i OS today, the company is developing a new product called Guest 360 that will run on multiple platforms, including Windows.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
