Collision Repair in Cyberspace; EDS, First Priority Group Team to Bring Vehicle Repair Management to The Internet

    PLANO, Texas, Nov. 29 -- Getting your car or truck repaired
quickly and correctly after a wreck will become easier for both consumers and
their insurance companies through the world's first Internet-based collision
repair management program, being launched by EDS and First
Priority Group Inc. .
    Through a new Web site jointly developed and operated by EDS and FPG --
http://www.driversshield.com -- insurance companies will receive nationwide, Web-
based, collision repair management services that will revolutionize the way
collision claims and repairs are handled in the $30 billion collision repair
marketplace.  Through the site, both insurance company representatives and
vehicle owners will be able to schedule work at the collision repair shop,
arrange for a rental vehicle and interact with the repair facility via the
Internet.  Further enhancements already are being planned that will expand the
capabilities and conveniences that driversshield.com will provide to
consumers, insurance carriers and repair facilities.
    "driversshield.com equips insurance companies and collision repair shops
to serve their clients in a way never before possible," said Barry Siegel, CEO
of driversshield.com and parent company FPG.  "The level of service and
benefits that will be derived from using driversshield.com will be unsurpassed
by anything available in our industry.  EDS' Web development talent,
electronic business capabilities and experience in delivering insurance
related services are world renowned.  We believe driversshield.com will
undoubtedly and quickly become the mainstream method for collision repair
management."
    Insurance companies pay the majority of the nation's collision repair
bills.  As a result, these firms are seeking a better, faster, friendlier and
more efficient system of repairing collision damage to the vehicles they
insure, as well as strengthening their customer loyalty.  Under the terms of
the relationship, FPG and EDS will use the business-to-business power of the
Internet -- the fastest growing aspect of Internet -- to make
driversshield.com the nation's leader in the provision of collision repair
management.  In fact, introduction of driversshield.com marks one of the most
significant changes in the insurance claims process since the birth of the
industry in the early 1900s.
    "Using the Internet to transform businesses is the rallying cry of EDS,"
said Brad Rucker, executive director of the E.solutions Internet practice at
EDS.  "driversshield.com will deliver a world class solution to the long-
standing problem of having to deal with all the frustrations of effecting
collision repairs."
