For the ease and benefit of our clients, UTA forms will now be accessible directly through the R&R and ADP e-libraries.

Whereas before forms had to be downloaded from a separate location, often causing inefficiency and confusion, now there will be no need to leave the car deal or F&I papers while consummating a sale.

The necessary UTA forms will be right there in the e-libraries of both Reynolds & Reynolds and ADP, making life easier and more efficient for everyone.

This is just one of many ways that UTA plans to make payment processing a more seamless experience. Look for future blog posts that detail additional ways that UTA is leading the payment processing industry.

While we will be embarking soon upon a complete integration of the two companies’ websites into one, a landing page has been launched in the meantime that explains the merger, provides information on both companies, and displays what the new brand will look like.

To show our support of Haiti and its people during their most exigent time of need, NCT is encouraging every person who reads this to donate to the Haitian relief effort. The employees of NCT have joined together to contribute and we encourage our clients to do so as well.

And while there are a plethora of websites where you can donate to Haiti, this is the one that we have chosen to use: PlanUSA.com.

Here is more information about Plan USA, from their website:

Founded over 70 years ago, Plan is one of the oldest and largest international development agencies in the world. We work in 48 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas and raise funds in 21 countries.

We are an independent, not-for-profit organization without political agenda or religious orientation.

…

Plan’s work is made possible thanks to nearly 1,100,000 people in 18 donor countries who support us by sponsoring a child as well as through donations from individuals, corporations and foundations, grants, and strategic partnerships with other organizations.

Several NCT employees are already looking into doing more than just sponsoring a child; they may actually adopt a child who has been orphaned as a result of the tragic earthquakes that have shaken this already troubled nation. While we know that not everyone can do this, we do at least encourage you to check out Plan USA give what you are able to give.

Please help the people of Haiti in their most dire time of need.
