George O'Sullivan commented on James A. Ziegler's blog post TRUE CAR and ZAG Cyber Bandits, Parasites or Good for the Car Business?"@keith certainly there are plenty of benfits that DMI and the like can provide us as a dealership, to make my life easier.

George O'Sullivan commented on James A. Ziegler's blog post TRUE CAR and ZAG Cyber Bandits, Parasites or Good for the Car Business?"@Criss "They do come out of the woodwork"
@Keith There is no question that DMI should be in business and that they provide a valuable service. I am not calling them the enemy. But if they download, cull and aggregate the data…"
George O'Sullivan commented on James A. Ziegler's blog post TRUE CAR and ZAG Cyber Bandits, Parasites or Good for the Car Business?"@keith DMI is caught in the middle that is for sure. And, if we had an agreement with them specifically I would consider it. But the contract is not with them.

George O'Sullivan commented on James A. Ziegler's blog post TRUE CAR and ZAG Cyber Bandits, Parasites or Good for the Car Business?"@Thomas the job post is interesting.

George O'Sullivan commented on David T. Gould's blog post Automotive Dealer Data Access - Data Fields, Lock'm Down - DTG Digital Efficiency"Not only do you need to lock down the fields that are most critical to controling your database.

Ziegler's blog post TRUE CAR and ZAG Cyber Bandits, Parasites or Good for the Car Business?"@Michael the fact that you failed to address ANY of the important issues I addressed, and instead answer a rhetorical point, shows that you are not serious.
