We are hearing similar stories about challenges with access prohibitions from dealerships, third parties and service providers.The Open Secure Access Coalition (http:OSA Home) believes that data is a dealership asset, and that it can and should be available for use by a dealership’s trusted partners. ‘Certified’ access can make sense, if those programs are available, affordable and able to meet dealerships’ needs, and those of their trusted vendors. Any stamping of other data access approaches into a ‘data broker’ category is awfully convenient. That categorization is not consistent with most group’s interests: OSA and its members believe that data should only be accessed with the full knowledge and approval of a dealership, and only for approved uses. In essence, dealers rely on employees, vendors and third parties to handle a particular transaction or activity on the dealership’s behalf. That’s not data brokering – that’s getting the job done.We encourage dealerships to really understand the data access requirements and opportunities of all their systems and services providers, to be certain that they can work together. Ask enough questions to understand their policies and actions. If OSA can help structure those questions or a discussion, let us know.
