Micros SIM development 3

[IndexRobert]

Hi All,

we are developing a new product for fine dining restaurants and finished our development for Aloha. We now would like to integrate with Micros and found that the SIM scripting is most likely the best way to get this working. However, I can't seem to find anything on this. I spoke to our local Micros dealer, but he has no clue and forwarded me to corporate. Before I go there I want to have done my homework and know all there is to know about this subject.

My questions are:

- Is there a licensing fee for us as a developer company to get an SDK or is SIM scripting public?
- Is there documentation on SIM script development?

Thanks for anybody that can shine some light on this.

Hello,

I don't know the answer to your first question, but here is a guide for SIM Scripting.

If you want a developer who can do SIM scripting for you, I am available to work on a contract basis.

SIM scripting doesn't require a licensing fee, but the closest thing to an SDK you're going to get is the guide from RitwickGupta's dropbox. Micros doesn't really help 3rd party SIM developers much. Makes sense since they'd be helping their professional services department's competition. You will have to pay a licensing fee, and a hefty one, if you want to use the Micros API to run transactions on the system from a 3rd party, like an integrated online ordering product. Also, if your product is going to use dll's or transmit/receive messages with another server, your customer may have to purchase a SIM license for their system, but those are only a few hundred dollars.
