Talk:Micros Systems

message: This article reads like it was ripped from their website and self-aggrandizing press releases.  ;-)  Also, the article is entirely unsourced.  I do not take issue with notability (MICROS is inherently notable), but this needs lots lots lots of work.  Maybe in such a niche market neutral & reliable sources are hard to find.  /Blaxthos 06:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it was indeed ripped from the website (as noticed by actually looking at their website)! I removed most of the advertising, for now. (I moved the advertising banner to the Fidelio section, which really needs work.) As for the "niche market", you are correct that it is hard to find sources. I'm sure that MICROS is used in over 50% of the POS market, but I haven't been able to find that source. Similarly, I'm looking for statistics to back up the claim that 9700 is the most widely-used product in the market — it is likely true, but I cannot find the information immediately. /Timneu22 17:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree with the figures entirely — they're marketing claims made by the company itself (self-serving statements).  I have intimate knowledge with the hospitality POS market, and I can say that I've yet to run across ANY system that has a majority (more than 50%) hold on any portion of the market (save InfoGenesis, which has a pretty tight grip on the casino industry).  Needs to be sourced or be gone.  I appreciate the help in cleaning it up.  ;-)  /Blaxthos 00:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps 50% is too high, indeed. It seems very hard to find sources, but I'm looking. I can tell you for sure that InfoGenesis certainly doesn't have a "tight grip" on the casino market. Indeed, MICROS wins that battle too. /Timneu22 15:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Claim that 9700 installed at "all Marriott and Ramada" hotels is not substantiated by the reference (which doesn't even mention them), and I know it's simply false.  It's a common system in any hotels including many Marriotts and probably Ramadas, but neither chain has a brandwide mandate that its franchisees use these systems - and many, especially in the franchise community (Ramada) don't even have the need for a POS at all.
