Founder, Tech-Info Advisory
John Bright has more than 30 years in the industry, including senior regional business leadership with a leading global Tier 1 automotive supplier.
His experience spans multiple markets, automotive aftermarket and service challenges, customer strategy, technology and practical implementation. He has also been actively involved in multiple automotive data-licensing cases.
Through Tech-Info Advisory, John applies that experience to help OEMs, national sales companies and authorised importers establish and manage intermediary licensing arrangements. His published Insights explore the technical and operational questions behind those decisions.
“Clear thinking, strong relationships and solutions that work in practice — not just in theory.”
Helping teams turn licensing decisions into working arrangements.
An intermediary request can cross Aftersales, technical, legal, commercial and headquarters teams. Tech-Info helps establish the facts, identify who can decide and coordinate the work needed to deliver the agreed service.
The aim is a process the organisation can use again, with clear responsibilities and records that support the next application, change or renewal.
Who we support
The advisory client is the OEM, national sales company or authorised importer. Relevant stakeholders may also include intermediary applicants, licensees and data recipients where their role connects to an OEM-side application or licence process.
For a related automotive information-access or operating challenge, we can assess whether a tailored engagement is appropriate. Scope and any prerequisites are agreed before work begins.
Independence and professional boundaries
Independent advisory work requires clear scope, responsibilities and professional boundaries. Tech-Info Advisory is equally clear about the work it undertakes and the decisions that remain with its clients and their professional advisers.
Specialist OEM-side advisory
Tech-Info Advisory provides specialist advisory support to OEMs, national sales companies and authorised importers on automotive information access, intermediary data licensing, MVIS readiness and related operating-model and governance matters.
Independent and authorised in approach
Tech-Info Advisory is independent of software platforms, data vendors, regulators, associations and intermediary commercial interests. Its work supports authorised, transparent information-access and licensing arrangements and does not support approaches intended to bypass established access controls, licensing requirements or approval processes.
Professional services not provided
Tech-Info Advisory is not a law firm, regulator, certification body, data intermediary or software vendor. It does not provide legal advice or legal interpretation, regulatory or professional certification, audit or assurance opinions, tax or accounting advice, financial-product or insurance advice, or engineering certification or design services.
Decisions and outcomes remain with the client
Tech-Info Advisory does not make the client’s licensing decision, grant a licence, sign legal declarations for the client or applicant, determine the legal meaning of contract terms, determine scheme eligibility or statutory vetting, or guarantee regulatory compliance, licence or access approval, commercial terms, cost recovery or any business outcome.
Regulatory context only
References to laws, regulatory materials or scheme requirements — including MVIS — provide context only and are not legal advice. Clients remain responsible for determining their legal, regulatory and commercial positions and for obtaining qualified legal or other specialist advice where required.
