Reynolds Chairman Bob Brockman Reaffirms Commitment to ERA
Dealership Management System
during NADA Media Briefing
Reynolds customer service and business practices will
continue to lead in the market
DAYTON, OHIO – February 8, 2007 – Reynolds Chairman
Bob Brockman addressed the media during the recent NADA convention
and underscored the company’s commitment to its core
ERA dealership management system software and to the business
practices and brand attributes that have been synonymous with
Reynolds in the eyes of customers for decades.
“The ERA system will continue to be enhanced and will
likely be supported for the next 20 years or more,”
Brockman said. “It’s one cornerstone for our brand
and one of our best opportunities to continue to fortify our
position with customers. ERA customers want improvement, not
change. That’s what we will deliver, based on what customers
themselves have told us is important in their business. Frankly,
I believe we will be a two-product software company –
ERA and POWER – probably forever.”
During his remarks, he also indicated that the reputation
Reynolds has earned for customer service, which already is
the best in the business, is one he expects will continue
to improve. “These processes and practices will continue
intact,” Brockman said. “The business practices
that Reynolds has developed also are well known as the friendliest
in the industry. I can assure you that Reynolds contracts
and business practices will remain in place and lead the market.”
Brockman also indicated that improvements in product development
will be one of the most tangible benefits customers can expect
as Reynolds moves forward. “In the same way that our
focus on the customer is institutionalized at Reynolds and
an integral part of our brand,” he said, “we also
brought to this company a discipline in product development
and programming that is equally well institutionalized. As
a result, not only do we have the research and data that bring
the voice of the customer into the company, now, we also have
a much more effective and efficient way to deal with those
customer inputs and insights.”
Brockman concluded by emphasizing the complementary strengths
that were brought together in the company and the unique opportunity
to build an even stronger company in ways that will benefit
all Reynolds customers. He said: “Today, we are one
company with one brand: Reynolds and Reynolds. One set of
customers. One set of business practices. One leadership team,
blended from the best talent of both companies. And, one overarching
goal: deliver superior software and support that does the
best job possible in helping our customers do their jobs in
the best way possible to maximize their sales and their profits.”
