Exhibit 99.1

Agilysys Board Names Special Committee to Oversee Strategic Evaluation;
Appoints R. Andrew Cueva, Managing Director of MAK Capital,
to Fill Board Vacancy

BOCA RATON, Fla. — June 25, 2008 — Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed five independent directors to a special committee created to oversee the company’s strategic evaluation process.

Effective immediately, the board also has appointed R. Andrew Cueva to fill a vacancy on the nine-member board following the resignation of director Dr. Curtis J. Crawford, who intended not to stand for re-election at the company’s 2008 annual shareholder meeting because of a major scheduling conflict. Due to the recently announced postponement of the annual meeting, Dr. Crawford has decided to depart now.

Cueva, managing director of MAK Capital, the company’s largest shareholder, will serve on the special committee. Directors Thomas A. Commes and Howard V. Knicely will co-chair the committee, which will also include Keith M. Kolerus and Robert G. McCreary, III.

“The independent members of the special committee are highly qualified to analyze all of the strategic alternatives available to our company,” said Arthur Rhein, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys. “They possess a broad range of business experience and have gained substantial knowledge about Agilysys either as members of the board or as a long-term major shareholder. We are confident of their ability to present prudent recommendations for the full board to consider on behalf of all of Agilysys’ stakeholders.”

Agilysys intends to disclose developments regarding the strategic evaluation process only if and when the board has approved a specific course of action after receiving the recommendations of JPMorgan, its financial advisor. Agilysys cautions that there can be no assurance that the exploration of alternatives will result in a particular course of action.

Rhein added, “I want to express my personal and the Board’s deep gratitude to Curtis Crawford for his valuable insights and dedicated support of our shareholder value-creation agenda, and wish him the very best. At the same time, we welcome the perspective of our largest shareholder, MAK Capital, which owns

approximately 18 percent of the company.”

Cueva has been a managing director of MAK Capital, a New York-based value-oriented hedge fund, since January 2005. Prior to joining MAK Capital, he was a portfolio manager and analyst at Green Cay Asset Management in the Bahamas from 2002 to 2004 and Avalon Global Asset Management in San Francisco from 1999 to 2002. He began his investing career in 1995 at Deltec Asset Management in New York, and has invested across a range of industries. Prior to Deltec, he worked in mergers and acquisitions groups at the Bankers Trust Company and Samuel Montagu & Co.
