CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quorum Information Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture: QIS) (Quorum) announced today that it is launching a Windows Virtual Desktop pilot built on Microsoft Azure. After the pilot, Quorum will be able to deploy its XSellerator Dealership Management System (DMS) to automotive dealership customers leveraging the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, eliminating the need for an on-premise server or a Quorum hosted solution.
“As a long-standing Microsoft gold partner, we are excited with the opportunity to pilot XSellerator as a cloud-based solution on Microsoft Azure,” said Maury Marks, President and CEO, Quorum. “With over 10,000 users, XSellerator is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system (or DMS) for automotive dealerships.

Azure provides Quorum a cloud-based offering that helps accomplish these two objectives. We will start migrating select dealerships to Azure as part of the pilot in Q1 2021.”
“We are pleased to have Quorum introduce their cloud-based offering on Microsoft Azure, leveraging Windows Virtual Desktop. This unique model by an Independent Software Vendor like Quorum is strategic to Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and organization on the planet to do more,” said Suzanne Gagliese, One Commercial Partner Lead, Microsoft Canada. “At the conclusion of the pilot, Quorum will provide its XSellerator DMS solution to its automotive dealership customers, leveraging the scalability and enterprise-grade reliability of Azure.”
