COLUMBIA, Md., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to
announce that AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida has selected
MICROS as its point-of- sale (POS) provider. A MICROS 9700 HMS
enterprise-wide solution utilizing MICROS WS4 POS terminals and
Mobile MICROS Hand-Held Terminals was implemented in mid-November.

to eliminate incompatible POS technologies and consolidate
operations and reporting, while reducing administrative overhead.
"Our previous configuration had become a challenge to effectively
manage," stated Tony Coba, Senior Vice President and Chief
Information Officer of The Miami HEAT. "As a result of our internal
process review, it became clear to us that migrating to a single
unified platform would improve customer service; reduce operating
costs; simplify staff training and enhance our data mining
efforts." Coba adds, "For us, it was important to partner with a
POS vendor whose technology roadmap aligned with our strategic
objectives. MICROS offered us a comprehensive POS solution that fit
our diverse requirements at the best value. When you consider
market share as well as their worldwide and local support
infrastructure, MICROS was clearly the best choice. We are very
excited about this new venture and look forward to expanding our
relationship with MICROS." "We are pleased to provide the
AmericanAirlines Arena with a fully integrated, enterprise-wide
solution that has eliminated the inefficiency of the legacy
systems," stated Dan Interlandi, Executive Vice President of North
