Next-Gen POS Works with Mobile, Cloud and Social to Deliver Integrated Content

3/26/2015
As hotels and restaurants employ mobile, social, and informational tools to connect with guests, they require a new type of “engagement” device at the point of service (POS). To meet this need, Oracle today introduced Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 with a fresh, modern design that provides hospitality and select retail venues with a next-generation POS terminal that works in concert with mobile, cloud, and social media to deliver consistent, integrated content across multiple sources. 
 
For hospitality businesses, Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 is part of an integrated strategy built around content delivery, moving well beyond transactions to offer guest recommendations, roll out special promotions, and personalize the guest experience. The workstation is a single engagement device that shares digital content from a variety of sources with both staff members and guests, from sharing a training video with a new worker to helping a guest view a spa package or menu special being offered.
  
Building upon a deep industry hardware legacy, Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 incorporates the design elements of mobile POS hardware to deliver an elegant, stationary engagement device with an attractive finish and small footprint. The ergonomic, all-in-one design minimizes the visual obstruction between guest and staff, while a 15.6-inch-wide HD touchscreen enables a beautifully rich, horizontal information format. The mount allows staff to adjust the screen angle or swivel it around for a guest to view. 
 
The new terminal also expands the integrated family of Oracle’s MICROS engagement devices, which includes Oracle’s MICROS R-Series Tablet and Oracle’s MICROS E-Series Tablet in 8-inch and 11-inch versions. With an intuitive user interface and similar look and feel, Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 helps employees move seamlessly between tablet and workstation.
 
Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 operates the Microsoft Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro system and runs the latest Intel Atom processor for high performance and low thermal output. A modular, integrated, three-track magnetic card reader allows for 3DES or AES encryption upon swiping. In addition, Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 includes six USB ports, allowing users to attach peripherals such as printers, scanners, and cash drawers.
 
The new terminal leverages select Oracle Hospitality and Oracle Retail applications to provide a fluid, intuitive touchscreen experience and minimize the learning curve for new employees. Oracle software and hardware is engineered to work together so implementation is simple and seamless.
 
Backed by Oracle’s industry-leading technology, service, and support, Oracle’s MICROS Workstation 6 provides adaptability to changing operational requirements and access to the latest technology. As part of the Oracle portfolio of hardware, software, and related services including cloud solutions, the terminal builds upon Oracle’s commitment to providing solutions that optimize business processes and offer guests superior service and experience through connected technology.
