The IDC MarketScape evaluated POS software vendors with a specific focus on their commitment to delivering advanced and omni-channel POS services and capabilities.

While the evolution to the platform is ongoing, Oracle continues to innovate in areas including applying data science to menu recommendations and optimized forecasting, providing better visibility to operational metrics, accelerating the payment process, and developing better APIs that drive more value from the partner network, analytics and visualization." "The IDC MarketScape's recognition of the Simphony platform underscores our recent investments in bringing new features and technology to market and our continued commitment to the food and beverage industry," said Simon de Montfort Walker, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Food and Beverage.
