BMS: What is it
BMS Solutions
|
The EMS standard is the equivalent of Microsoft DOS, old and
full of security issues. Currently many in the industry (SCRS
and many shops) are complaining about this. It is CIECA's hope that
we can move quickly to the current CIECA standard in XML format.
This new CIECA BMS (Business Message Specification) standard has
features that would allow body shops to better monitor and control
the security of the data that is shared.
In some cases, the BMS provides a much
more feature rich set of data, while in other cases, provides only
the data required for that business function. More data when you
need more; and, just the right amount of data when less is required.
