North American GM Dealers now can choose ADP Dealer Services or AutoSoft Incorporated as their IDMS solution provider, in addition to Reynolds and Quorum.

DETROIT, 2007-01-18 – General Motors (NYSE:GM) announced today that ADP (NYSE: -ADP) and AutoSoft Incorporated have been added as GM endorsed providers of GM’s Integrated Dealer Management System (IDMS) to GM-branded retail dealers in North America, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, HUMMER, Pontiac and SAAB. Retail dealers for these brands will be able to choose from among four endorsed providers for their IDMS support. Terms of the contracts are not being disclosed.

GM’s Integrated Dealer Management System will help General Motors’ retail dealers simplify their technology requirements and streamline operations resulting in improved productivity and increased customer satisfaction.
“At GM, a key business priority is to make it easier for our dealers to do business with us,” said Mark LaNeve, GM Vice President, North America Vehicle, Sales, Service and Marketing. “Having four strong dealer management system providers will further demonstrate that while we are focused on improving retail processes and dealer business systems, we remain flexible in addressing the unique needs of our dealers.

“In today’s highly competitive environment, we intend to assist our dealers by reducing the costs and complexity in the way we conduct business. This saves our dealers’ time and money, allowing them to focus their resources on the core aspects of their retail operations,” LaNeve said.

“Each of the endorsed information technology providers brings its own blend of leadership and innovation to GM’s dealers through the GM IDMS business solution,” said Ralph Szygenda, Group Vice President and Chief Information Officer, General Motors. “Rapidly evolving and newly emerging technologies have forever changed the ways GM shares information and conducts business in the automotive retailing industry. We want to leverage the capabilities of these IT suppliers to help GM strengthen its relationship with its retail dealers and, in turn, provide the dealers with the tools that deliver greater flexibility to facilitate vehicle orders, manage vehicle and service parts inventories and, above all, sell GM cars and trucks.

GM’s DMS strategy is to provide cost effective and seamlessly integrated DMS solutions through four GM endorsed DMS providers. The addition of ADP and AutoSoft completes this strategy.
