Choose your car on disc

GENERAL MOTORS of
Canada Limited has retain-

ed Bull Information
Systems Limited to convert
the GM Parts catalogue into
compact disc format (CD),
beginning with the 1994
model year. From
September 1993 on, the GM
Parts catalogue will be
available to GM _ dealers
across Canada in electronic
format or on microfilm on-
ly.

With the Bull Electronic Parts
Catalogue (EPC), all part infor-
mation, images, charts, text and
part numbers will be contained on
one compact disc (CD). Dealers
can retrieve the information
through a compact disc (CD-
ROM) linked to a personal com-
puter, and display it on a high-
resolution monitor.

“General Motors is committed
.to providing state-of-the-art

technology in parts catalogues to
the dealer organization, insuring
that customers are serviced quick-
ly and efficiently,’ said Barry
McQuillin, director of sales and
Parts catalogues, General Motors
Service and Parts Operation.

“The Electronic Parts Cata-
logue system wiil be an invaluable
tool to increase customer satisfac-
tion in the dealership.
Countermen will be able to access
information more quickly,
avoiding time delays and reducing
obsolescence in inventory.”’

GM and Bull will showcase the
EPC to dealers in a series of in-
formation seminars across Canada
beginning in April 1992.

The CD hardware and software
will be compatible with existing
dealer in-house computer systems.

EPC features:

© Total integration — terminal
emulation provides access to in-
house inventory system and allows
data updates into the systems.
