Oracle Hospitality Stumbled in Micros Integration But Says It Has Recovered - skift.com

For more than two decades its servers hummed under the front desks and in the back offices at tens of thousands of properties worldwide. One of the knocks against Micros’ hotel software was that it was antiquated. One hotelier called it “a DOS pig with lipstick,” referring to the 1980s Microsoft disk operating system for computers.
