March 12, 2008 - (TopHosts News Brief) - DataOne Software announced that its revolutionary technology will run the newly launched DriveChicago.com Web site, increasing functionality and providing new tools that make auto searches faster and easier.

The Web site is northwest Indiana’s most comprehensive online resource for researching and purchasing new and used cars. It is the area’s largest local automotive inventory listing, showcasing more than 100,000 new and used vehicles, supported by more than 540 Chicago dealerships. Rackspace, the industry’s fastest-growing dedicated hosting service provider, will host the Web site.

Jock Pereira, managing director, DataOne Software explained: “We are extremely excited about the DriveChicago.com launch and our involvement in this Web mall project. The technology enhancements that we’ve been able to make are going to significantly improve the portal’s online inventory management capabilities, performance and user experience.” Pereira added: “Rackspace is the only hosting company to offer a Zero-Downtime Network program that guarantees 100% uptime. Rackspace’s proactive network management practices, high performance bandwidth and multiple information flow redundancies make them the ideal hosting partner for this project.”

“DriveChicago made the switch to Dealerskins and DataOne Software to better serve our dealers and produce a site with a retail feel. DataOne Software had a Web portal tool that allowed us to quickly develop a site that was more useful for both consumers and dealers,” suggested DriveChicago General Manager, Mark Bilek.

The new DriveChicago.com Web site will include: improved and expanded data capturing and lead distribution capabilities; an advanced revenue-generating ad banner system; and new tools that allow users to search by dealerships and submit quote requests to multiple dealers at the same time
