MICROS Eclipse Workstations and 8700 HMS Chosen as Part Of 1 Billion USD Expansion at Mohegan Sun Casino
COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 15 / MICROS Systems, Inc. MCRS, a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality industry, announced that the luxurious Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut expanded upon the currently installed MICROS 8700 Hospitality Management System (HMS) by selecting 114 MICROS Eclipse workstations, plus peripheral equipment, as part of the property's $1 billion "Project Sunburst" expansion.
The MICROS Eclipse is an easy-to-use touchscreen personal computer designed for point-of-sale use. With its small footprint and all-in-one design, the Eclipse Workstation is an excellent fit for locations where space is at a premium. The user display and CPU are integrated into a sleek single unit for simple set up and maintenance. The spill-resistant touchscreen is built to stand up to harsh environments and heavy use, and the unit's rugged good looks blend unobtrusively into any decor.
The Eclipse is one of the most powerful POS workstations available today supporting Microsoft's® most popular operating systems. It also utilizes industry standard connectivity options and offers the flexibility to connect to most any peripheral device.
William Velardo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mohegan Sun, stated, "Our current expansion includes the addition of dozens of new restaurants and retail outlets, as well as a 10,000-seat arena and 300-seat cabaret. We were seeking the most effective point-of-sale functionality, and the MICROS Eclipse workstations fit our needs the best. Speed, flexibility, and durability are very important in all of these high-volume locations."
"We are pleased that Mohegan Sun has chosen our Eclipse workstations for this landmark expansion," said Tom Giannopoulos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MICROS. "These workstations offer the most up-to-date technology in an operator-friendly environment that allows for ease of both training and maintenance."
