Old Friends...

A - nother D - amn P - roblem (Step on soapbox) Ok the comments section is loaded with people leaving R&R (URey) for greener pastures. Sure there are ADP visitors trying to rub the business in the nose of us Reynolds die hards. Yes the dealers think they can leave URey and go to something better, only to find out the problems with ADP are there as well. Sure it might not be the exact same issues they had with Reynolds, but the issues are there.  If I owned a dealership (which I don't), I would not switch the DMS provider at all, unless forced. The reasons are huge. Sure I don't like Bob anymore than the rest of the world, but you jump from one fire to the next. When you talk to ADP dealers, they hate ADP just as much URey. ADP is a publicly traded company and can get bought like the next one. On top of that, you throw the entire dealership into a living hell, while switching DMS providers. Just does not make good business sense to me.  If you look at history, EDS was a DMS and publicly traded and when the guys at the top wanted there cash they took the buyout. Sold of the entire dealer division of EDS to ADP (now known as ARG) and are slowly killing the product. If you would have asked anyone who worked for EDS, they probably did not think a buyout would happen to them. I used to hear this all the time. "EDS is too big, no one could afford to buy them." Give me a break. Everything is for sale, including ADP, Automate, Autosoft, Arkona, etc, etc, etc. (step off soapbox)  PS - Just wanted to say hello to old friends, such as InnocentByStander. I saw your posting in the comments. Long time no hear. Waiting to hear from BlueGhost & Hedgehog. Seems like a new person has joined the ranks called "SalesBunny". Very interesting comment about ADP's CEO selling stock... Thanks for the comment.
