COLUMBIA, Md., March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to
announce that Wynn Resorts has selected MICROS's
Simphony™ Enterprise Solution for its Wynn Las Vegas and
Encore casino resort properties. MICROS will complete its
enterprise-wide conversion upgrade from the MICROS 9700 Hospitality
Management System (HMS) and other Legacy POS solutions to the
MICROS Simphony Software as a Service (SaaS) enterprise
solution in the cloud on March 31st. The project encompasses
over 100 Revenue Centers located across the two casino resort
properties and includes over 500 MICROS Workstation 5A (WS5A)
point-of-service terminals.
"Wynn Resorts is already realizing the tangible benefits of
Simphony's advanced technology as well as MICROS's highly
structured project management through this seamless upgrade,"
stated James Houghton, Chief
Information Officer, Wynn Resorts,
Limited. "Our food and beverage operations now enjoy
the benefits of a smooth and uninterrupted technology platform
which ensures our guests' experience remains excellent."
Wynn Las Vegas and Encore continue to set the bar for luxury and
excellence in Las Vegas, earning
top honors and recognitions, including the 2012 Forbes Travel Guide
Star awards (formerly Mobil Travel Guide Star awards). Wynn Resorts
selected MICROS Simphony for its advanced technology and
proven capabilities in the industry, which include enterprise
configuration and functionality, a Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA), and inherent offline resiliency and scalability in a global,
multi-property casino resort environment. MICROS
Simphony's SOA approach provides Wynn Resorts management the
ability to strategically place critical services across the
enterprise. In the event of a planned or unplanned outage,
Simphony is able to operate detached from the hosting center
or server. This design allows all system interfaces to
continue to function: credit card authorizations, liquor dispensing
systems, posting to the property management system, gaming and
video surveillance systems all while remaining able to share checks
among terminals and print to the remote service locations.
As the look and feel of MICROS Simphony is similar to the
MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System, Wynn Resorts is able to
leverage its employees' familiarity with MICROS to reduce training
time, as well as utilize new screen option layouts to improve guest
service. MICROS Simphony is also highly flexible,
offering advanced interface capabilities to third-party peripheral
products such as player tracking systems, liquor dispensing
systems, and stored value cards.
"We are pleased to be able to offer Wynn Resorts an enterprise
solution that offers a multitude of features and benefits and one
which will improve the everyday operational efficiency at its
properties," stated Tom
Giannopoulos, Chairman and CEO of MICROS Systems, Inc.
"MICROS Simphony will create a smoother interaction between
property employees and guests and provide Wynn Resorts management
with strong visibility of each property through one centralized set
of reports."
"The scalability of MICROS Simphony is a big factor in
our decision to upgrade," stated James
Houghton. "We have a reputation of pushing the limits
in guest service and MICROS Simphony's next generation
solutions will scale to meet our growing demands."
