today announced that FirstGroup America
(http://www.firstgroupamerica.com/), a leading provider of
transportation and fleet services in North America, has deployed
the Datastream 7i(TM) asset performance management solution across

provides school bus transportation services to more than one
million students in 500 school systems; * First Transit, which
provides public transit contracting and management services to more
than 100 transit authorities, departments of transportation,

FirstGroup America is deploying Datastream 7i across all three of
these divisions, encompassing 1,500 users across over 400 sites.
FirstGroup America is using Datastream 7i to automate its
management of nearly 80,000 vehicles, enabling the company to
maximize fleet availability by scheduling preventive maintenance
and tracking warranties. FirstGroup America anticipates increasing
its productivity, by keeping its vehicles up and running, and
reducing maintenance costs. In addition, FirstGroup America's
diverse customer base has a broad array of reporting and regulatory
requirements. Datastream 7i's fleet-management functionality
automates the process of meeting these requirements. "Although our
North American businesses have somewhat different requirements,
they were unanimous in selecting Datastream 7i because it gives
them a common platform from which to manage their assets," said Joe
Leturgez, Vice President of Information Services of FirstGroup
America. "Datastream 7i's Web architecture allows anytime, anywhere
access to our asset information, and the hosted solution greatly
reduces our costs of delivering services." FirstGroup America is
deploying the Datastream 7i Web-architected asset management system
as a hosted solution to achieve the lowest possible total cost of
ownership (TCO). By choosing a hosted platform, deployment is
extremely fast and the cost of hardware equipment and the
supporting staff is minimal. FirstGroup America will also have
instant, online access to version updates. "Datastream 7i delivers
broad fleet-management functionality, which enables companies like
FirstGroup America to deliver an extremely high quality of services
to customers," said Larry Blackwell, CEO of Datastream.
