Audatex: About Us - Press Releases

Estimate and Workflow Provider will offer Industry’s largest vehicle database

SAN RAMON, Calif. — November 27, 2006 — Audatex, a Solera Company, today announced that it is leveraging the world’s most comprehensive vehicle databases through the integration of its global database operations. A comprehensive global initiative is optimizing the vehicle database development process across the five Audatex development organizations in Germany, Spain, Brazil, France, and the US. As a result, Audatex clients worldwide will enjoy broader vehicle and parts coverage and more rapid vehicle development.

"“We’ve been able to increase our resource capacity by nearly 30% in our global vehicle database development organization,” said David Scotting, head of the Audatex Global Database Development Group. “We are investing that increased capacity to expand our parts, labor, and vehicle coverage. Also, we have nearly completed development of our specialty vehicle databases, such as motorcycles, heavy trucks, and recreational vehicles, and these will soon be introduced in the US market. This has been a major investment area for Solera since its acquisition of Audatex.”"

Tony Aquila, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Solera, added: "We are fanatical about database. Expanding our database services delivers disproportionate value to our clients and we are committed to continuing this expansion. Our global presence allows us to invest significantly more than our nearest competitors can in database, technology and product development and to deliver unparalleled value to our customers."
