Dominion Dealer Solutions and Microsoft have established a strategic
relationship to collaborate and create a next-generation Dealer
Management System (DMS) based on Microsoft Dynamics AX. The two
companies are combining the powerful foundation of Microsoft Dynamics AX
with Dominion Dealer Solutions’ extensive automotive retail expertise
and assets into an industry leading solution that will enable automotive
dealers and manufacturers to enhance customer experience, increase
revenue and profit and drive operational efficiencies. The solution will
utilize Microsoft Dynamics AX, along with Microsoft server solutions and
tools and the Windows Azure platform to take advantage of the
efficiencies and flexibility offered by Microsoft’s public cloud
offerings.
“Our strategy with Microsoft Dynamics AX is to provide a robust platform
for game-changing solutions like the new Dealer Management System from
Dominion,” said Christian Pedersen, General Manager of Microsoft
Dynamics AX. “The power and flexibility of Microsoft Dynamics AX enables
partners like Dominion to rapidly and cost-effectively develop
line-of-business solutions that drive accelerated business value for
their customers.”
“Combining Dominion's experience crafted through relationships with over
11,000 rooftops and Microsoft's technology will result in a tremendous,
forward-looking Dealer Management System,” said Robert Berndt, President
of Dominion Dealer Solutions. “The automotive DMS market has been
dominated by large, legacy systems that severely limit the ability of
dealers and manufacturers to meet customers' expectations and
differentiate themselves from their competition. Our relationship with
Microsoft gives us the capability to meet the needs of the market, and
more, on day one. Dealers who use our DMS will experience flexibility
they never dreamed possible, and they will be positioned for the future
of automotive retailing.”
The relationship between Microsoft and Dominion is part of Microsoft
Business Solutions’ strategic Global Independent Solutions Vendor (ISV)
program, resulting in collaboration in R&D, marketing and sales.
Dominion selected Microsoft Dynamics AX as the platform for the DMS,
which offers the combination of industry leading ERP capabilities
required for a DMS, along with rich integration and custom development
capabilities that are ideal for a meeting the dynamic needs of a rapidly
evolving retail market.
“We are excited to welcome Dominion as a member of the Global ISV
program,” stated Doug Kennedy, Vice President of Partners for Microsoft
Dynamics. “Their long history of delivering value for their customers
aligns directly with our goals for the initiative.”
The new dealer management system will be initially rolled out to new
vehicle dealerships in the United States, starting in Q1 2013.

We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored. However, with the rapid development of IoT devices and ongoing business model transformation, we are not able to predict the volume and growth of IoT data. And with the lack of IoT history, traditional methods of IT and infrastructure planning based on the past do not app... Apr. 23, 2018 05:30 PM EDT Reads: 7,418 | By Pat Romanski  Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has been a laggard. Until now. Apr. 23, 2018 04:15 PM EDT Reads: 7,029 | By Pat Romanski  Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals.

Apr. 23, 2018 10:15 AM EDT Reads: 1,092 | By Pat Romanski  More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...
