Oracle hat gestern den Kauf von MICROS Systems bekanntgegeben. Das Unternehmen aus Maryland produziert Hard- und Software für den Hotel- und Gaststättenbereich, wie z.B. Kassensysteme.
For Oracle, the deal will allow the vendor to sell more databases to a host of hotels, restaurant chains as well as retailers, all of which have been using MICROS hardware that comes bundled with Oracle database, MICROS POS systems and industry-specific applications for property management, sales and catering as well as back-office functions like workforce management.

Um sein E-Commerce-Portfolio auszubauen, hatte Oracle Ende 2010 bereits ATG Commerce übernommen.
