CIECA - Members - XML Release Versions


CIECA XML Standards Release Version - Current Release 2007R2

The CIECA Release Package contains the Business Message Specification (BMS), the XML Schema, and the Code List.

Introduction
The CIECA Specification provides a robust and scalable framework for the exchange of collision data and instructions independent of a particular network technology or computing platform. The Specification facilitates the implementation of Electronic Commerce. It provides a forum and methods to develop and maintain objective, unbiased, and uniform Electronic Commerce standards and guidelines that encourage open competition and free choice. These values are in the best interest of all entities conducting business with and within the Collision Industry.

The biggest challenge of electronic commerce for most companies is integrating systems developed to serve similar needs with different technologies. The CIECA structure brings industry people together to learn together; car rental agencies, glass shops, collision shops, parts suppliers, and information vendors. Representatives from all segments are ensuring compatibility of systems, especially for insurers. The goal is to create a win-win situation that keeps everyone enthusiastic and working together for mutual benefit of common strategic direction for the evolution of existing products and services.

The CIECA BMS
This document provides the collision industry with a common set of Business Messages that may be used to provide message-processing services across multiple organizations and networks. The CIECA BMS is extensible and customizable for future growth. This document provides the basis for business-level information flow between organizations.

The CIECA Schema
The schema has had significant structural changes in Release 2004R2 which has been continued in Release 2005R1 and beyond. These changes will allow greater implementation flexibility, easier maintenance, and greater system efficiencies. The schema now has a split format with Venetian Blind representation, and a collapsed Assignment representation.

CIECA Implementation Guides
Complementary documents called CIECA Business Process Implementation Guides are expected to provide additional detail on how the business messages defined in this document may be physically represented. Each Implementation Guide is an agreement between the trading partners in the collision industry on how to implement the business messages defined in this document. Implementation Guides also provide the basis for relationships among products and services from various vendors, custom software developed solutions, and Service Providers.
