Columbia, MD, January 9, 2008 — MICROS-Retail, the retail solutions division of MICROS Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: MCRS), which includes its subsidiary companies Datavantage, CommercialWare and eOne Group, today announced that Blain Supply and Blain’s Farm & Fleet stores have implemented MICROS-Retail’s XBR®: Loss Prevention and Store Analytics. With the upgrade to the new solution, the stores are very easily able to set up control thresholds in order to alert the point of sale (POS) associates to suspicious activity and then quickly resolve any issues.

Founded in 1955, Blain’s Farm & Fleet stores (www.farmandfleet.com) are specialty discount retailers with 33 locations throughout Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. Receiving management, merchandising and distribution services from Blain Supply, Inc., each retail store is a division of one of the Farm and Fleet Corporations. The company remains steadfast in its commitment to offering customers high quality products, competitive prices and reliable service.

“Because of XBR®’s quick implementation time and ease-of-use, MICROS-Retail was able to train us on the product using our own live data,” said Gary Hilt, vice president of loss prevention, Blain Supply, Inc. “From the start we saw immediate cost benefits from the improved efficiency of our corporate investigators while researching suspicious transactions.”

As the most widely used loss prevention and store data analysis tool, XBR® uses exception-based reporting methods to easily identify, track, manage and resolve issues such as fraudulent transactions, productivity concerns and training or compliance issues. The robust analysis features and multiple report types make it easier to use than the traditional in-house systems. The application offers retailers many opportunities for increased efficiency and ease-of-use. For example, XBR® provides a Java and browserbased
web client portal to enable remote loss prevention and field management
personnel to easily access and run queries over the Internet. This allows staff to work anywhere and still access key analytics to aid decision-making.

“Blain Supply and Blain’s Farm & Fleet stores knew it needed a loss prevention solution because of the volume of transactions that were occurring per store, and did a competitive search to find the best option,” said John Gularson, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, MICROS-Retail. “As we’ve seen many times before, XBR® gave Blain Supply and Blain’s Farm & Fleet stores the ability to act quickly to solve transaction fraud and help improve productivity.”

Datavantage Demonstrates IXRetail POSlog Integration In ARTS Pavilion At NRF 2004 Annual Show

Cleveland, OH – Datavantage, a subsidiary of MICROS Systems, Inc., demonstrates today the usage of the IXRetail POS Transaction (POSlog) XML schema in a show floor integration with multiple vendor participants. Datavantage’s XBR Loss Prevention analytics application will consume (or receive) POSlog messages produced by applications from other developers. The demonstration is one of several “standards in action” demonstrations in the ARTS Pavilion at the NRF 93rd Annual Convention & Expo, showing how standards can help simplify the implementation of corporate based analytics solutions.

At a summary level, the demonstration shows how transactions entered in a separate POS, and produced in a POSlog XML format, are seamlessly read by Datavantage’s analytics tools. This enables alerts to be triggered quickly, and permits analysts to run queries that pinpoint to non-compliance and potential fraud.

“POS data drives most retail analytics applications,” said Chaz Napoli, President of Datavantage. “While our clients and technicians have become experts at integrating with many kinds of T-Logs, we look forward to the day when the consistent use of the POSlog standard reduces the time and cost of integrating POS data and analytics tools.”

Point-of-sale data is the most valuable data in retailing; it is used in everything from analytics to sales reports to mission critical inventory and ERP systems. Integrating POS with new or replacement systems is often time consuming and costly, yet is still required due to the pervasiveness of the POS data. A standard IXRetail XML-based POSlog provides retailers with three main benefits: easier integration to POS data without jeopardizing the accuracy and reliability of the POS systems, best-of-breed selection and flexibility for future system additions and changes, and help in reducing implementation costs. More information on ARTS and standards can be found at www.nrf-arts.org.

Datavantage Brings Exception Reporting to EAS Alarm Events

Simplified Alarm Reporting EAS Ensures Systems Perform at the Fullest Potential

Cleveland, Ohio – Datavantage Corporation, a leading developer of retail point-of-service systems and business intelligence technology, announced today the addition of a powerful electronic article surveillance (EAS) Alarm Reporting module to its Proact™ XBR Loss Prevention analytics application, helping to improve operational efficiencies, reduce shrink, and ensure associate compliance with EAS procedures.

Developed in partnership with Retail Solutions Group, a unit of Tyco International Ltd.’s Fire and Security Division (NYSE: TYC; LSE: TYI; BSX: TYC), the XBR EAS Alarm Reporting module takes a data feed from the newly introduced Sensormatic® UltraLink keypad device and enables trend analysis and exception reporting of EAS alarm events. Retailers can now monitor EAS alarms and find behaviors that may be indicative of theft, inadequate response to alarms, or improper tagging at all levels throughout their companies. The module is designed to streamline the reporting process and provide meaningful trend analysis by store, cashier, responding employee, and much more.

“Datavantage continues to expand our analytics capabilities to leverage more and more information from across the enterprise,” said Raoul Ricard, Executive Vice President of Datavantage. “Integrating XBR and UltraLink, through the partnership with Retail Solutions Group, is a natural progression of this strategy and illuminates the real value of a retailers’ EAS investment.”

“With the wealth of data provided by UltraLink, and processed by XBR EAS Alarm Reporting, retailers can promptly address loss prevention issues for substantial theft protection enhancements,” said Tony D’Onofrio, Vice President of Emerging Technologies.

The Proact Business Intelligence suite delivers decision support analytics across all retail environments, including general merchandise, grocery, food service, c-store, and many more. The flagship of Proact is XBR Loss Prevention, the industry leading, exception-based system that helps retailers stop employee theft and reclaim shrink dollars quickly.

The UltraLink connects to many Sensormatic EAS systems and includes a small keypad installed at the store exit. The unit tracks, displays and records employee response times to each alarm event, ensuring prompt attention and full compliance.
