Norm Reeves Honda Selects Reynolds and Reynolds as Network Services Provider to Maximize Connectivity
DAYTON, Ohio--June 15, 2001--World's largest Honda dealer utilizes Reynolds' integrated networking
services, support
The Reynolds and Reynolds Company today announced the successful deployment of its Managed Connections suite of networking services to Norm Reeves, Inc.
Located in the Southern California area and part of the C.A.R. Group network, Norm Reeves is the world's number one Honda dealership in sales.
As part of the deployment, Reynolds provides Norm Reeves with Frame Relay Connections and Wireless Bridging, both part of the Managed Connections suite. Frame Relay Connections dramatically reduces the up-front costs and complexity of implementing and managing the Norm Reeves network, offering a single source for planning, installing and supporting the network. Reynolds' Wireless Bridging capability was utilized with two facilities, giving Norm Reeves reliable, high-speed communications at a much lower cost than fiber optic telephone lines.
"Reynolds' Managed Connections services has given all of our stores the speed, efficiency and connectivity we have always experienced at our central Honda dealership," said Lee Stacy, vice president of corporate operations for the C.A.R. Group. "Through one central location, we are now able to monitor all activity at our various locations, and as a result, can assist each dealership at any given moment. Plus, with Managed Connections, we interface with a single contact, making only one call to Reynolds when there is a concern with equipment or the network. This is one of the most valuable features to our organization."
Lee Stacy noted that the speed and standardized equipment across the Norm Reeves organization has enabled dealership associates to serve their customers faster and with greater efficiency as well.
According to Scott Schafer, senior vice president of Reynolds' Info-Structure Services, "The installation, implementation and adoption of the Managed Connections services by Norm Reeves was very successful. We look forward to supporting Norm Reeves with our wide array of integrated services, and to help the organization's infrastructure continue to grow and support the increasing needs of its associates and customers."
