“ The technology transformation has given us the ability to scale with demand and handle spikes efficiently . We feel confident in our security posture by applying Zero Trust and leveraging Azure Sentinel for security information and event management .
“ Our data lake is on Azure , and we are standardised on Power BI for all our business intelligence and provide data as a service to our transit agencies . It ’ s accelerated our advanced analytics by utilising Azure Machine Learning and we ’ ve built our first on-cloud machine learning model plus are investing in Gen AI with Azure Open AI .”
Cloud enables Metrolinx ’ s transformation A key enabler of Metrolinx ’ s rollout of innovative new payment solutions like open-loop credit / debit payments and the PRESTO virtual card in Google and Apple Wallet has been the transit agency ’ s adoption of cloud computing . PRESTO ’ s account-based payment platform is cloud-native in Azure , along with the data analytics platform and tooling that powers it .
Embracing the public cloud has allowed Metrolinx to rapidly deploy these new products and services without the need to build out extensive custom on-premises infrastructure .
