/PRNewswire/ -- As the top telematics provider for government
agencies across North America, Geotab, a global leader in
IoT and connected transportation, today announced that the Geotab
Integrated Solution for General Motors (GM) is now available
for government agencies in the U.S. With the integrated OEM
solution, which provides instant connectivity via OnStar-equipped
vehicles without the need for additional hardware installation,
government fleets will benefit from real-time visibility, quick
access to data and the right to use all other technology
innovations from Geotab. In addition, as a result of securing
approved, cooperative sourcing contracts for a number of government
agencies, via Sourcewell and NASPO ValuePoint, GSA
Fleet (a division of General Services Administration),
the State of
California, and other organizations, Geotab has
streamlined the purchasing process for government customers,
reducing long RFP cycles.
"We're excited to continue our partnership with GM by extending
Geotab Integrated Solution for GM to government agencies across the
U.S.," said Geotab Vice President Connected Car & Platform
Solutions, Sherry Calkins. "Our
joint solution will help government clients optimize fleets, track
fuel consumption, enhance safety, achieve strong compliance and
improve productivity to make quicker, better-informed and
environmentally-minded decisions. Additionally, government vehicles
connected to the Geotab Integrated Solution for GM will have the
added benefit of access to the Geotab Marketplace—an exclusive
online portfolio of mobile apps, hardware add-ons and software
add-ins enabling Geotab government customers to customize their
fleet management solutions."
"We are proud to deepen our collaboration with Geotab by
providing government fleets with an integrated, seamless connected
vehicle solution," said Ed Peper,
Vice President, General Motors Fleet. "At GM, we know our fleet
customers want to take care of their drivers and vehicles while
gaining valuable insights to help maximize their productivity.
Through OnStar Business Solutions' offering of connectivity

and more efficiently manage their operations."
Geotab's Integrated Solution for GM also provides government
fleets with complete visibility within one platform to help meet

the MyGeotab platform via a factory-fit, GM-engineered embedded
OnStar module. This one dedicated portal of powerful tools will
enable managers to oversee their entire fleet, simplifying the task
of mixed-fleet management.
"Through the acquisition of various contracts, our Geotab
Integrated Solution for GM is now accessible to government
clients," said Neil Garrett,
Associate Vice President of Business Development, Government at
Geotab. "These new cooperative sourcing contracts mitigate the
burden of long RFP cycles and provide our government customers with
the ability to easily purchase Geotab solutions by using our
extensive Authorized Reseller Network. This landmark further
consolidates our position as the foremost telematics provider for
government agencies across the U.S."

successfully and efficiently run their fleet operations," said
Michelle Calloway, Director, OnStar

additional hardware, governments now have a turn-key
connected-vehicle solution, saving them both time and money.
