Quorum Information Technologies launched a re-platforming and data consolidation project utilizing Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics for advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI).
The company, in utilizing Microsoft Power BI, launched Q Analytics nearly a year ago as an enterprise reporting tool. The new project that it is working on with Microsoft is considered the next logical move and is expected to provide additional value and scale to the solution.
“There are many benefits to this project that will significantly increase the value of our Q Analytics solution and scale the adoption of Q Analytics to all dealership staff,” said Maury Marks, President and CEO at Quorum. “We will start migrating dealerships to Azure Synapse early in 2021.”
Q Analytics is currently used by 20 per cent of Quorum’s XSellerator Dealership Management System (DMS) customers at the management level. The company is consolidating dealership (and other) data on Microsoft Azure Synapse, which should allow Q Analytics to provide better analytics for dealership customers, important business intelligence insights into their operations, and a consolidated dataset for future AI projects, according to Quorum.
“Microsoft Azure Synapse will help Quorum power customer service, innovation and efficiency, adding increased value for its dealership customers,” said Suzanne Gagliese, One Commercial Partner Lead, Microsoft Canada. “The transition to Azure Synapse allows the Q Analytics platform to collect and analyze all of their data, break down data silos and provide immediate business intelligence.”
