MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to announce that Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) has expanded its partnership with MICROS by selecting the cloud-based MICROS Simphony™ Enterprise Solution for its food and beverage operations for its Marriott brands in the United States and Canada. The MICROS Simphony Enterprise Solution will be hosted in a MICROS Data Center. The deployment, which includes MICROS workstations and mobile devices, will substantially conclude by the end of 2014.
