Systemproduct lines, ADP Dealer

capabilities to mid-size and smaller

consumers, ADP is there to assist
them. AutoConnect, a joint venture

over 5,000 web sites which connect
vehicle buyers and dealers on the
Internet. Our Relationship Marketing

service reminders  through several
ADP companies in off-site mode, or
right at the dealership on their ADP
on-site system.

a year.
ADP also continues to work
closely with manufacturers on their
Common Manufacturer Environment
(CME) initiatives and strategies. We
now have active CME relationships
with two of the top three U. S. auto
manufacturers, as well as a number
of non-U. S. vehicle makers.
