Reynolds and Reynolds and JMsolutions to Extend American Auto Exchange Solution to Reynolds Dealers

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- National Automobile Dealers

Association Convention and Exposition, February 11, 2006 -- The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (NYSE: REY) and JMsolutions today announced that they have signed a letter of intent through which Reynolds will market the American Auto Exchange (aaXchange(R)) Vehicle Management System, powered by JMsolutions, to U.S. dealerships that use the Reynolds dealer management system.

The aaXchange VMS system enables dealerships to manage inventory with

optimum efficiency through the creation of an Ideal Inventory Model(TM).

Dealerships using the VMS are able to make fact-based appraisal decisions

 -- ultimately providing for faster inventory turns, fewer trade losses and

greater lift in the new car side of the dealership.  The aaXchange VMS also

boasts a one-stop location for group trades and online auction trading, as

well as a single interface to support dealerships' marketing needs.

"Once finalized, our agreement with JMsolutions will represent a

significant relationship for Reynolds enabling us to bring another industry

leading solution to our customers," said Scot Eisenfelder, Reynolds' senior

vice president, Solutions Management, Marketing and Strategic Planning.  "The

American Auto Exchange solution is fundamentally a business intelligence tool.

Like Reynolds business intelligence tools such as Advanced Reporting, the

aaXchange(R) Vehicle Management System allows dealership management to make better, faster, more informed decisions."

Scott Barrett, JMsolutions president, said, "We selected Reynolds and

Reynolds for their strong commitment and passion to increasing dealership

profitability, as well as their industry recognized leadership and support.

We are pleased to work alongside Reynolds to increase the number of dealers

who can benefit from our industry-leading solution.  Dealers value it because

it allows them to sell more vehicles while increasing profitability through

proactive inventory management.  Its appraisal tools increase trade close

ratios and reduce wholesale loss, while its real-time vehicle trade desk helps

increase retail unit sales and profit."
