Infosys Technologies Ltd. is an IT transformation leader for its clients around the world. With over 95,000 employees in more than 64 offices around the world, the company constantly searches for the best technology to help its customers meet their business goals. As Infosys began designing a solution to let automobile dealers share information on inventories and other resources, it wanted to offer a cloud-based solution that would be simple to deploy, easy to scale, and require zero maintenance from the customer.

Infosys is using SQL Data Services to create a solution for auto dealers, which it can easily replicate to meet similar integration needs for healthcare, hospitality, insurance, and other industry verticals.
