On-Premise vs. Cloud POS: Why Businesses Are Moving to Oracle Simphony Cloud

Oracle Simphony Cloud

Across the restaurant and hospitality industry, a major shift is underway, operators are moving away from on-premise systems like MICROS RES and 3700 in favor of cloud-based platforms such as Oracle Simphony Cloud.

Why? Because aging hardware, rising maintenance costs, and the need for real-time data are pushing businesses to modernize. Cloud POS systems offer the speed, scalability, and insight today’s operations demand, and Oracle Simphony is leading the way.

Why Legacy On-Premise Systems Are Becoming a Liability

Traditional POS setups require constant local management:

  • Manual software updates and patches
  • On-site servers that are prone to failure
  • Limited visibility across locations

With MICROS RES hardware aging out and fewer support options available, keeping these systems running is getting more expensive and risky.

  • More frequent hardware issues
  • Longer lead times for parts and service
  • Data vulnerability without modern security protocols

The bottom line: Legacy infrastructure is holding back growth and efficiency.
