Each business must make their own determinations on business decisions and the level of risk they are willing to take with their dealers. 

 

If we really wanted to profit from this we would keep the dealership from being able to do it at their level too. 

 

If the dealership chooses to send data on their own around our system then, we no longer have any liability and we have to assume that the dealership as taken all the necessary percussions and data sharing agreements are in place for them to feel comfortable enough to do that. This is the easiest most cost effective way to allow the dealership to make this decision. 

 

If you want R&R to make a determination on the integrity of the vendor, minimize the risk and put the proper data sharing agreements and security in place then we must be allowed to do that on our terms. 

 

All there is no ulterior motive or sinister plot. If you're a vendor simply go through the process, let us know what data you want, what you intend to do with that data and what you data security policies are and we will get you certified as quickly as we can. If vendors would like to pay 10X more we will hire more people get them trained as quickly as we can you speed up this process.

 

I have not heard anyone willing to pay that.
