EECGeek Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Does anybody know what the purpose of this is exactly, because I was under the impression that it was for us technician's to use. Because this is a secondary internet for us, we have a T3 connection from Bell for the dealership? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not sure what you mean... For the shop we have our own wireless (D-Link, bought from Circuit City) router. This enables us to use our laptops to access OASIS as well as other URLs, we can use OASIS quick start using the IDS, access workshop manuals using IDS.

DwayneGorniak Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Maybe I can elaborate on this. About two years ago, Ford had a program that they were promoting for technicians called "Project Access". This Program was created to promote dealerships to allow their technicians to have their own unlimited source of information at their fingertips in their own bays at their toolboxes etc such as OASIS, training, service manuals and publications, etc. The idea was that technicians would spend less time looking for manuals and running around the shop for resources and be more efficient by never having to leave their own bays. The program was really a great idea. Unfortunately, Ford doesn't have the program anymore because they most likely felt that everyone had already jumped at the oportunity to get with the times. The other unfortunate thing is that I never kept a copy of the original anouncement letter about the program. I used to have it in my toolbox. I wonder if anyone else on this site may have a copy that they could post on this thread. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shrug.gif The other unfortunate thing Greg, is that your IT geak has either never heard of it or is just too plain ignorant to let you know about it.

Yes it is very unfortunate, but thanks for the info, I thought that it was something like this, but couldn't remember. It's not like he would have told us????
