ARKONA Inc., a specialist in dealer management solutions for the new and used car automobile

industry and DealerPeak, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM)company

for the automotive industry, announced an agreement whereby the

companies' two solutions will be integrated and sold to dealers.

As part of the agreement, information from Arkona's dealer management system

will be exported on an ongoing basis to DealerPeak for use in its CRM

solution. Dealers using both ARKONA and DealerPeak solutions are assured of

complete data integration and on-demand reporting which will provide dealers

a "real-time" 360-degree view of dealership operations.

"The combination of Arkona's full fledged DMS system and DealerPeak's robust

Web-based sales solutions give dealers a uniquely complete solution.

Dealers will now have the ability to implement one system to handle all of

their software needs in an entirely ASP driven environment," commented Jock

Schowalter, VP product development, DealerPeak. "Finally dealers will have

what they have been waiting for and we are very excited to work with Arkona

to deliver such a powerful solution."

"We have closely inspected products from many CRM vendors and have found the

DealerPeak solution to be the most fairly priced, feature-rich and

technologically advanced," said Rich Holland, president, Arkona.

"DealerPeak has clearly done their homework in designing their CRM solution.

Because of their forethought, the integration process will be fairly simple.

Dealers will appreciate the straightforward user interface, powerful

reporting features and increased revenues they'll experience using the

DealerPeak and Arkona combination."
