Van Tuyl Automotive Group Selects ADP Dealer Services as Its Networking Services Provider
The Dealer Services Group of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. announced Apr. 15 an agreement with Kansas City-based Van
Tuyl Automotive Group to provide networking hardware, design,
installation, monitoring, and maintenance solutions. Part of this
agreement includes the installation of hardware delivered by Cisco
Systems, Inc., a provider of end-to-end networking products
available in the marketplace. According to ADP, they have networking
professionals dedicated to integrating Cisco powered networks.
"We felt that outsourcing our information technology functions was
more economical for our business. With their experience in supplying
dealer management systems, combined with their full array of hardware
and systems support, ADP was the best choice to install and maintain a
full range of network functions for our dealerships. We wanted a
single number to call regardless of carrier, hardware, or system
provider. ADP delivered that single source," says Dan Mattox, chief
information officer of Van Tuyl Automotive.
"ADP provides the most extensive network solution available in the
automotive retail market today. Whether it be pre-sales design,
integration with manufacturing applications, or ongoing consulting
after the initial installation, ADP has the products and services to
deliver the right answers to meet our customers information technology
needs," said Mark Hnilicka, vice president of sales operations, for
ADP Dealer Services strategic accounts.
According to the company, another aspect of this agreement includes the delivery of a suite
of products that will supposedly enhance Van Tuyl's ability to
manage their IT infrastructure. ADP's
management tools, such as EnterpriseObserver can improve network
health, provide oversight of Internet-based activities, increase
effectiveness of e-mail, and deliver informative network reporting, according to ADP.
ADP also says it provides an unmatched level of service in support of
their customer's networks. In addition to 24-hour call service centers
located throughout Canada and the United States, ADP provides a test
and duplication mechanism in which technical troubleshooting is
accomplished without having to work on the actual customer network.
"The world-class combination of Cisco products and ADP know-how is
unmatched anywhere in the automotive industry. I am very pleased with
the opportunity to provide these solutions to Van Tuyl Automotive. We
look forward to helping Van Tuyl Automotive build a flexible IT
infrastructure that allows them to take advantage of new and existing
technologies as they continue to expand and build their business going
forward," says Joe Bihner, ADP Dealer Services vice president of
network solutions.
"One of the driving factors for choosing ADP is that they can
provide network solutions which enhance rather than disrupt dealership
activities. They provided us with a comfort level unmatched by any
other network provider," adds Mattox.
