SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Provider Exchange Network, a division of
Open Dealer Exchange, recently announced integration with AUL to offer dealers
the ability to rate and contract for AUL F&I products directly through the
dealer system.

Officials explained the connectivity to PEN can enable
F&I aftermarket product e-contracting directly from the dealer software.
Embedded into the system, e-contracting functions can eliminate the need for
the dealership user to access multiple applications or re-enter critical deal
data in order to complete the transaction.

Currently, ADP Menu (formerly MenuVantage) and The Impact
Group Fusion menu can integrate to PEN.

The company highlighted this same technology will soon be
made available direct from the dealership management software from Reynolds and
Reynolds.

"The connection to PEN is valuable to AUL because PEN
connections and services are best aligned to solve a long standing industry
need," AUL general manager Rand Monroe said.

"Doing business electronically must be easy for dealers to
adopt and PEN supports this very well," Monroe continued.

PEN vice president of provider services Ron Greer added, "AUL
is an outstanding organization with a strong dealer base.

"This relationship brings us one step closer to our goal of
e-contracting for every dealer in North America," Greer went on to say.

PEN reiterated that it's an electronic data exchange that
streamlines the sales process by integrating the F&I product provider with
dealers' point-of-sale systems, whether through a menu or directly with the
DMS.

PEN believes its unique integration approach can eliminates
the need for separate applications to enable e-contracting for aftermarket
products. Functions include electronic ratings, forms preparation and contract
origination.
