QIS Quorum Information Technologies Inc

Quorum Information Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QIS) (Quorum) announced today
that it has completed the 11 integration points between GM's Parts Workbench and
XSELLERATOR(TM), Quorum's state-of-the-art dealership management system (DMS).
Each one of these integration points saves dealerships time and improves their
ability to service their customers, further adding to the Quorum DMS value
equation. GM's Parts Workbench is replacing the GM RAPID system for parts
ordering. It takes advantage of modern technology to streamline the parts
ordering, shipping, and invoicing process, making it easier for the Parts
Department to do business with GM. 


"The completion of the Parts Workbench integration is a major step towards
achieving the vision of one integrated process, combining the DMS and the OEM
processes. This vision is becoming a reality as we continually work to further
integrate the retail business processes in partnership with GM" said Dan
Ichelson, Quorum's VP Operations and Development. "For the Parts Department, we
have completed 11 integration points that will provide real-time access to
critical parts data which will allow dealerships to improve service to their
customers as well as their own profitability." 


"We were fortunate to pilot this new Parts Order Integration which allows us to
always know where a customer's part is. We can provide real-time answers to look
after customers better," stated Karl Arguello, Parts Manager for Greiner Pontiac
in California. "This integration is also a time saver for the parts department
because we can now seamlessly access so much more information now than in the
past, when we had to gather the information from multiple places."
