LAS VEGAS, Nevada – February 03, 2007 – Oxlo Systems Inc., Infonizer North America Inc., and Microsoft, announce an agreement for Oxlo to provide integration services to the Dealer Management System for Microsoft Dynamics AX (MSDMS).
Infonizer and Oxlo are both strategic Microsoft partners including participation in Microsoft’s recently announced Automotive Retail Solutions program, with Infonizer developing and marketing the next generation Dealer Management System (DMS) based on Microsoft Dynamics AX, and Oxlo running the leading Dealer Integration Network.
Leveraging the Oxlo Open Dealer Integration Network (ODIN™) will enable MSDMS to quickly integrate with the growing list of Oxlo network members’ systems.
“A DMS must be integrated to numerous third party systems, such as OEMs, before entering the market. By partnering with Oxlo we will accelerate our time to market, as we won’t have to wait on integration development,” said Richard Ward, President Infonizer NA. “The Oxlo Dealer Integration Network efficiently provides MSDMS with instant access to leading automaker, lender and other partner systems,” added Ward.
John Reed, Director, Automotive Retail Solutions Microsoft, commented, “Microsoft’s strategy is to provide a comprehensive modern and scalable dealer solution delivered by an array of integrated partners whose offerings are built on Microsoft core technologies.” Reed added, “The combination of Infonizer’s DMS platform and Oxlo’s Dealer Integration Network are key components of this strategy.”
“Oxlo has dramatically simplified dealer systems integration, allowing dealer system providers to focus on the new technologies and innovation that deliver value to consumers, dealers, automakers and other dealer business partners,” said Jim Lejeal, CEO of Oxlo. “It’s exciting to see Microsoft and Infonizer bringing fresh new solutions to the dealer market, and Oxlo is pleased to be working with them,” added Lejeal.
MSDMS will capitalize on Microsoft’s familiar products and user interface, flattening the learning curve for dealership employees and offers integration across MS products like MS Office and Outlook, and mobile functionality.
