As a prior employee of Reynolds and Reynolds I cant state facts about the Cobalt buy-out but I can express my deepest sympathies for the current and employees at the new Reynolds and Reynolds Company. Back a few years ago I was a Field Service Technician with USC and after about 12 months of constant torture and verbal abuse hurled my way because I was the field “representative” for Universal Computer Services. After getting my tongue ripped out for going to my supervisor with customer complaints and trying to resolve them I decided to call it quits and make a move in a different direction. After about 10 years working with 2 of the major DMS providers I have had enough of that game and needed to move on to bigger and better things. I recently came to my senses and took a position at a local dealership group and I could have never made a better decision.

I can’t speak for Cobalt, but can say with 100% certainty that Who’s Calling was in fact purchased by UCS/Reynolds in December. As an employee of that company, I can most definitely confirm it!

Thanks Jeff!

RX,

Thanks for participating with your comments.

I do need to take a moment to defend myself. I never said that my posting was 100% correct. I merely stated that I had heard this from a reliable resource. AND would post again if and when I received the official word.

I would not constitute this as a “irresponsible post”, it was something that I heard and I do have the write to post it. From there one can take my posting and have their personal opinion about it, such as you have done.

Please remember, this is a my personal BLOG and not NBC News.

Maybe next time you participate with your comments, you wont have to hide behind an alias email address and name?

If you’re not 100%, then why make such an irresponsible post? That rumor has been going around for a few years. That would be like me calling the dealer you work for and asking for a refrence, because you’ve applied for a job with another dealer.

I never said this was 100%. “I just heard through a source – I’ll be sure to post something once I get an official word on this”

This is why I don’t usually post something like this…but I did hear it from a good source. You never know…lets wait and see.

I would like to know as well who the “source” is, or if it’s just another rumor that seems to pop up every few months.

It does not seem like this is happening. No one at Cobalt has heard about this yet, nor any news…

Might want to check with your sources.
