Agilysys Inc. has appointed Sudharshan Chary, cofounder, Datavision Technologies and a 2019 inductee into the Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) International Technology Hall of Fame, as SVP, product strategy.
Reporting directly to Ramesh Srinivasan, president/CEO, Chary will work in concert with Frank Pitsikalis and Rohith Kori—who also serve in SVP, product strategy roles—to help hospitality organizations understand how to maximize the revenue and operating advantages of the Agilysys cloud-native, data-driven, end-to-end integrated technology ecosystem.
Chary gained prominence in the hospitality industry by recognizing the potential of combining data from various hotel systems and utilizing business intelligence to enhance hotel operations long before this became an accepted practice. At Datavision Technologies, he built data models and a BI platform crafted specifically for hospitality organizations.
Chary served as the technology and data visionary, sales evangelist and president for the company, helping hospitality leaders understand how to apply data and user-driven BI to optimize their operations, expand revenue opportunities and elevate customer service levels. In 2022, Otelier acquired the platform to expand its footprint in hotel performance and analytics.

I am looking forward to contributing to the hospitality industry as part of this impressive team.”
