Oracle MICROS

Oracle MICROS provides point‑of‑sale (POS) hardware and software solutions designed for the retail and hospitality industries. Its offerings include integrated terminals, back‑office management software, and tools for inventory control, sales reporting, and customer engagement. The division also maintains a customer support portal that is used by retailers and hospitality firms worldwide to manage their POS installations. Oracle MICROS is headquartered in the United States of America. It operates as a division within the larger Oracle corporation.

Oracle MICROS is a wholly owned division of Oracle, with its strategic direction set by the parent corporation. The 2016 security incidents revealed that Oracle MICROS, together with five other point‑of‑sale providers, forms part of a group of vendors whose combined installations exceed one million POS devices worldwide. This extensive deployment gives the division a significant presence in the global retail and hospitality technology markets. A key distinguishing characteristic is its specialization in hospitality‑focused POS solutions, which are commonly deployed in hotels, restaurants, and similar venues. Because its support portal enables remote administration of customer systems, the division has been targeted by cyber‑criminal groups seeking to harvest credentials and install malicious code on merchant terminals.
