FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Timonium, MD – February 22nd, 2016-- Helion Automotive Technologies, a leading provider of information technology (IT) solutions to auto dealerships, announced today that its president, Erik Nachbahr, will be presenting a workshop at the 2016 NADA Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, NV. Auto dealers who attend Five Technology Musts to Drive Sales and Service Revenue will learn how to leverage their existing information technology (IT) infrastructure to increase productivity and give them a competitive advantage that will translate into greater profits.

"Most dealers view the IT network as a money pit, as something they have to spend money on and aren't getting a whole lot in return," said Nachbahr. "I would argue the exact opposite is true. Technology can actually be used to gain a competitive advantage and drive revenue in both sales and service. It's just a matter of knowing which technologies are worthwhile, where it makes sense to spend money and where it doesn't."

In his workshop, Nachbahr will reveal the explosive growth in the number of devices connected to the Internet and will review the recent trend of business applications hosted in the cloud. He will explain how these trends are increasing data requirements and how they affect dealerships' operational efficiencies.

Auto dealers who attend his workshop will learn:

• How businesses are relying more on the Internet than ever before, which type of Internet service is best for business applications and how much bandwidth they really need, both today and three years from now.

• How to tell if their wireless networks (Wi-Fi) are adequate for the number of connected devices, how slow Wi-Fi can drastically decrease shop revenue, and the latest recommendations for wireless access nodes

• What collaboration tools are and how these exciting new technologies will soon completely transform communications in auto dealerships

• How to keep dealership's bank accounts and customer data secure from hackers. Nachbahr will share several recent cases where dealerships have experienced attacks from malware, typosquatting and phishing scams, resulting in the loss of thousands of dollars per incident. Learn the latest security recommendations that will keep your dealership safe from the increasingly sophisticated cybercrime networks in Eastern Europe and China.

• How videoconferencing technologies can save dealers thousands of dollars in travel and time; and how video technologies will soon transform the customer car-buying experience

Nachbahr's Five Technology Musts to Drive Sales & Service Revenue will be presented at the following times:

Thursday, March 31st from 3:45pm - 5:00 pm in Room N115-117

Saturday, April 2nd from 10:15am - 11:30am in Room N261
