GetWired(TM) is a fully integrated combination of wide-area-network hardware, highly secure VPN connectivity, and world-class ADP service.

"We are very excited about the fast connections and strong security features provided by ADP Team Truck's GetWired Solution. With GetWired we can now communicate with our customers through the Internet in a safe and secure online environment. GetWired is just one of the many products that we use from ADP's Team Truck to help us run our business more profitably," states, Jack Kane, Owner, Oakland Truck Center.
ADP began selling GetWired(TM) in October of 2000. "We have experienced incredible success with this product offering. Others are just beginning to create the relationships necessary to market and implement advanced networking solutions and integrated web-services. ADP has been pushing the network envelope for quite some time," says Roger Sybrowsky, Vice President and General Manager of ADP Team Truck.
ADP Team Truck, located in Bedford, Texas is an independent division of ADP Dealer Services, and provides products and services to over 1,200 heavy-duty truck dealer locations throughout North America. In addition to GetWired(TM), the truck marketplace has also enthusiastically embraced many other ADP "technology-driven" products including: Electronic Laser Forms, Document Storage and Data Archiving, Electronic Signature Capture and PartScan bar coding.
Mike Martone, President of ADP Dealer Services, recently stated, "We are extremely excited about the opportunities for our Team Truck group. Despite daunting market conditions, they continue to grow market share, revenues and profitability on a year-to-year basis. When we created Team Truck several years ago, and enabled them to operate as a completely separate business unit, we were confident they would excel. Our success with GetWired is just one example of where Team Truck has exceeded all expectations."
A particular strength of ADP Team Truck is the ability to provide world-class service in all data-processing related areas. Says Sybrowsky, "Whether it's hardware, software, networking or Internet related, our clients call us. We are a single point of contact. This dramatically minimizes the challenges that can occur when more than one company is involved in the process. As we launch our new CRM application and other browser-based solutions, a one-stop-shop becomes even more important."
