Building on the foundation that Micros established serving the hotel and F&B industries, Oracle has launched Oracle Hospitality Global Business Unit to accelerate development of cloud, mobile and guest-experience technology. Mike Webster, SVP and general manager, Oracle Retail and Hospitality, told Hotel Business that the integration has been going quite well (Oracle acquired Micros in 2014), and that combining the companies into Oracle Hospitality will allow customers to get the best of both worlds: "We're preserving the intimacy and domain expertise that Micros had built and combining that with the scale and global reach of Oracle."

"Oracle's MICROS RES 5.4 allows TGI Fridays to manage the various aspects of running a restaurant, from tableside ordering to traffic and queue management, all from one solution and in a much more cost-effective way. It also puts the technology in the hands of the Fridays people, preserving the experience they can offer guests, rather than using tabletop technology that would reduce their interactions. The device also improves the table wait time and helps regulate the pace of orders sent to the kitchen."

"Retailers looking for agility, performance, and cost predictability are increasingly considering the cloud," said Jill Puleri, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Retail. "The new Oracle Retail Cloud Services help eliminate the time and cost constraints that too often hamper retailers' ability to respond to new opportunities for growth. Just as important, Oracle Retail Cloud Services allow retailers to focus on their business and work on strategic projects that add value to the business."

The six new Oracle Retail cloud services are aimed at providing retailers with fast access to enterprise-grade applications for managing critical e-commerce, customer engagement, order management, order fulfillment, loss prevention, and brand compliance operations.

New York University marketing professor Scott Galloway makes a strong case that pure-play retailers, whether just brick-and-mortar or just e-commerce, are doomed. He predicts that Amazon will stumble as stores beef up their e-commerce and especially their fulfillment options. Others don't buy that, saying that Amazon is in many ways as special as Jeff Bezos seems to think it is. "I disagree," writes Oracle's David Dorf in his Commerce Anywhere blog of Galloway's assertions. "Not because the logic is flawed, but rather because Amazon is not a typical retailer. I believe they could be profitable if they wanted to but instead choose to continue investing in widening their competitive moat. Not only is their retail business state-of-the-art, but their investments in AWS, tablets, payments, IoT, etc. are complementary, and help to diversify the business (yes, they can do both). Amazon is not your typical pure-play."

Larry Havlik, VP of IT and Systems at Lids Sports Group: "This is a significant step toward driving growth, by expanding the items we offer and giving customers the full benefit of our locations, in-store service and e-Commerce site."

As part of a technology upgrade that includes a migration to Oracle's MICROS Xstore (now Oracle Retail Xstore), Lids rolled out Oracle's MICROS Retail Locate (now Oracle Retail Order Broker Cloud Service), enabling the retailer to nearly double the number of product SKUs available for sale online by exposing inventory in all Lids stores as well as throughout its supply chain. The specialty retailer's omnichannel inventory increases available SKUs while helping customers and associates easily find team-specific items online and in-store.
