Database Enhancement Gateway Hires New Admin, Reopens Inquiry Process

The Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG) announced that it has completed its hiring process and has secured a new administrator, Arthur Harris, who has begun work on the DEG. The temporary suspension of new inquiries has been lifted, and the DEG is once again fully functioning and ready to process your inquiries through our website, the group said.
 
The DEG says it thanks users for their patience during the transitional period.

Harris can be reached at [email protected] or by phone at (302) 423-0207. Inquiries can be made at the DEG website, www.degweb.org.
 
The DEG is an initiative that enables those who use collision repair estimating databases to provide feedback in a standardized format to the information providers.

DEG resources include an easy-to-use website and inquiry form, dedicated administration for the processing of inquiries and a current database of both pending and resolved data inquiries submitted to the three major information providers.

The DEG was created, initially funded and is maintained by the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers (AASP), the Automotive Service Association (ASA) and the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS). Additional funding is provided through sponsorships which ensure the longevity of the DEG as one tool to help improve the collision industry.
