DriveCam Video Systems, a developer of fleet safety technology, announced Alan Mann has joined the company as vice president of sales. Mann will be responsible for managing DriveCam's direct sales team, including national accounts and distributor relationships, throughout the U.S. Mann has more than 20 years experience in high technology sales management with such companies as Data General, Sun Microsystems, Entegrity Solutions, Moai Technologies, and, most recently, as founder of Sales Elevation, a sales process consulting company. "DriveCam offers a unique solution to address the rapidly escalating costs of protecting and operating a fleet of vehicles," said Mann. "I am looking forward to working closely with the DriveCam sales team and personally with customers to assist them in gaining the full benefits of DriveCam's fleet safety program." DriveCam's complete fleet safety program includes the Driving Feedback System that integrates video technology and management software to identify high-risk driving habits. Unusual driving events are collected by a palm-sized video recorder mounted behind the rearview mirror that records what drivers see and hear. Video files can be automatically downloaded to a computer, where specialized software allows managers to view and analyze driving performance. Videos can also be emailed directly to insurance carriers to settle claims. By changing driving behavior, the Driving Feedback System has reduced the frequency and severity of collisions by 35 percent to 70 percent, the company says. "As we continue to strengthen our sales organization, I am delighted to have an executive of the caliber and the breadth of experience that Alan Mann adds to our team," said Ed Andrew, DriveCam president. "Alan's proven sales leadership skills will be an asset as we broaden our sales efforts and work with larger fleets to improve driving safety." Mann received a Bachelor of Science degree and an MBA from the University of Arizona. About DriveCam Video Systems
