  • Committee(s) Review

  • Survey

    • CIECA sent a message out to the Industry to determine what CIECA implementations (EMS/BMS) were being adopted and to determine if there were any concerns or pain points.

    • The Results from the survey identified

      • Data needed that does not exist in the BMS

      • Using an implementation that is not EMS or XML

      • Trading Partners do not use XML

      • EMS was already implemented

      • BMS schema is very large it could be overwhelming to implement for new BMS developers 

      • Tools to implement and Support would help

      • Provide excellent documentation and code samples for various languages

    • Documentation and Code Samples Problem Point

      • Reviewed the current process of looking up Implementation Guides and Appendix C via Committee on CIECA.com.

      • Demo the new website Standards design that goes by the Products (Assignment, Procurement, FNOL, etc..)

      • The committee agreed the Standards by Products was easier to find and followed the new API structure.

      • Recommendation to reach out to the individuals that were concerned about the standards and go over this concept and see if it helps.

        • CONNEX is next week and the new website design will be previewed in that meeting.

        • After CONNEX we hope to rollout the new Website in October.

  • Brainstorm Session

    • What messages do you use?

      • Repair Order

      • Estimate

    • What are pain points in implementing messages with Trading Partners

      • Schemas are good

      • Most Customers can support XML even if they are using JSON, so that has not been a problem or a push to move to JSON.

      • Customers do complain about signing up and becoming CIECA Members.

      • Documentation is good

      • Need International Phone Number.

    • Any new messages that would make your business workflow better

      • Moving to JSON is the right direction.

  • Committee Direction

    • New Web Page and Implementation Guides approval

    • New Committee Objectives

      • Work with the VDI Committee on the OEM Repair Procedure and Build Sheet Data

      • Homework for everyone to reach out to your technical team and find out what pain points they have and what they would like to see CIECA provide in Data standards.

  • Meeting Occurrences

    • We will start Monthly meetings in October.

Great Kickoff Meeting!
