Since the release of the revolutionary MICROS Workstation 4 (WS4) point-of-sale (POS) terminal in 2003, MICROS has installed almost 200,000 units around the world. With the WS4, MICROS led a transition in POS technology away from complicated and costly PC-based hardware, to lower-cost, more reliable solid-state POS appliances that provide superior functionality with the lowest total-cost-of-ownership on the market. Continuing that leadership, the Workstation 4 LX (WS4 LX) provides all of the same benefits, while providing a 3X improvement in performance.
