With 1999 value-added technology and service revenues of $335.1, MICROS is #97 on the 2000 VARBusiness 500. The ranking was published in a special issue of VARBusiness after an exhaustive research project in which the editors studied the business models and finances of the universe of IT professional services organizations. They narrowed the list to the 500 companies with the greatest revenues coming from technology products and services.
