GlobalAutoIndustry.com to Launch Subscription-Based GlobalAutoCommunity Allowing Automotive Suppliers Worldwide to Communicate and Do Business in a Secure Environment

TROY, Mich.--March 30, 2005--GlobalAutoIndustry.com, along with partner Creative System Dynamics, today announced their plans to launch a new, global supplier online community allowing suppliers to communicate with each other in a secure environment. Through the GlobalAutoCommunity, suppliers will have access to other suppliers from around the world and will have the opportunity to communicate and do business with each other.

"Suppliers will have access to one another by searching company name, product line, region of the world, and more," states Michael DaMour, Director of GlobalAutoIndustry.com, adding "Suppliers will be able to communicate and exchange information, such as quotes, CAD files, purchase orders and more. All this is accomplished in a secure and controlled environment."

GlobalAutoCommunity will be powered by WebTrack, a web-based project management and collaboration software in which CAD visualization technology is a critical component. WebTrack is designed by GlobalAutoIndustry.com partner Creative System Dynamics, a Michigan based software developer.

"In addition to providing suppliers with targeted search features, directory lists, and communication exchanges, GlobalAutoCommunity will provide suppliers with the ability to organize, streamline, track, and centralize any type of project workspace," states Neal Fairbanks, Vice President of Creative System Dynamics.

Suppliers will have access to the GlobalAutoCommunity through an annual subscription fee along with a monthly, per seat, user fee.
