AAA Enhances aaa.com with FinanCenter's Auto Analyzers
FinanCenter
(www.financenter.com), a provider of Web site
personalization products and services, and AAA (American Automobile
Association Inc.), a not-for-profit federation of 80 clubs serving 45
million members in the United States and Canada with travel,
insurance, financial and auto-related services, announced Apr. 23 that
AAA is further enhancing its Web presence with the addition of
FinanCenter's Auto Analyzers.
Localized for the club's three main markets, American English,
Canadian English, and French Canadian, the automobile
financial decision-making tools are said to enhance both the automotive
content and functionality of AAA's Web site.
The Auto Analyzers from FinanCenter provide visitors with tools that enable AAA members and Web visitors
to analyze and understand car-buying options, including leasing,
financing options, and payment analysis.
"AAA's commitment to making membership invaluable for our members
is stronger than ever," said Marshall L. Doney, vice president, AAA
Automotive. "Being the online automotive leader for our members who
expect us to be All Things Automotive is an important part of that
value strategy.
"With FinanCenter's Auto Analyzers -- available for use by anyone
who visits a AAA Web site -- we're giving our members and potential
members a privacy-protected means to examine their auto purchase
options and examine the financial implications on multiple levels.
Useful tools like the Auto Analyzers help AAA build and maintain
lasting customer relationships."
According to the company, localization was critical to AAA's decision to team with
FinanCenter for this project. With regionally customized Web sites
across the United States and Canada, providing services in the local
language was a key requirement.
FinanCenter says its ability to translate and localize any search
in its collection of Solution Centers that address 13 specific
financial areas (asset allocation, auto, college planning, credit
card, home, investing, life insurance, mutual fund, property &
casualty insurance, retirement, salary & benefits, small business, and
tax) make them the perfect partner in AAA's Web site enhancement.
"We're excited to be working with AAA to add value to the
organization's customer-oriented Web presence," said Corey Smith,
FinanCenter's president. "And by localizing for each of their markets,
AAA is ensuring that all of its members and visitors will benefit from
our award-winning educational products."

FinanCenter says its full line of interactive personal finance tools
include Analyzers, Educators, and Planners that engage customers while

critical financial topics such as home buying, investing, taxes, then
