The following will be discussed during the webinar:

  • BMS updates made to the 2023R2
  • Information about the development of CAPIS, how they are being structured and ways in which the standards can help member companies
  • Two member companies will talk about their use of CAPIS
  • Using CIECA Standards with popular tools

Presenters include CIECA Architecture Committee members Andy Bober, a software engineer at Entegral; Mike Hastings, a product manager at Car-Part.com; CIECA Board of Trustees member Jeff Schroder, founding CEO of Car-Part.com; Architecture Committee Chair Dan Webster, principal architect, IT Enterprise at Enlyte; and Paulette Reed, CIECA’s technical project manager.

Prior to the release, the Architecture committee held a quality assurance (QA) virtual meeting on Oct.10 to review the changes to the BMS, code list, instance documents and schemas; verify they meet the Architecture guidelines; validate spelling; and ensure all changes to the BMS are in the schema. The committee publishes updated collision industry standards twice a year.
