Ford Motor Company
Throughout the 1990's, Ford developed a cost effective Global Enterprise Network Integration (GENI) process to link all its locations compromising on the type of the connection and the cabling in favor of full coverage. During the same time, Ford started building its Web Farm, which was basically a set of hardware and software managed by a team for building Ford's public website. The work started by publishing documents for technical references and moved to more advanced images from a live auto show. As a result, the website received 1 million visits a day in less than 2 years after its official launch. In the path towards service cost reduction and bringing more business through the web, Ford worked closely with its competitors in the U.S. GM and Chrysler to establish what came to be known as "Automotive Network Exchange" (ANX) certificate. The protocols aimed at providing a unified communications standard through the Internet to enable suppliers to provide common technology for all manufacturers.
I might do the same with the LR2 after the warranty is over. Do you know if the warranty covers any check ups or maintenance? I am a new owner of the car and just want to have it checked out before the warranty expires. Thanks for that insight. I haven't been a LR owner for long, but I have begun to notice that. I had a Jaguar before, but took it to my personal mechanic, and never to a dealer. I might do the same with the LR2 after the warranty is over. Do you know if the warranty covers any check ups or maintenance? I am a new owner of the car and just want to have it checked out before the warranty expires. I'd trust the Landie with the same mechanic you take your Jag to. Here in Brick Township, NJ (Ocean County), we have Guenther at Specialty Auto who is an extremely trustworthy European vehicle mechanic.
