Covisint Inc., the company that provides business-to-business services to help automotive makers electronically communicate with partners and suppliers, on Thursday launched a new messaging service.<\/p>\n
The Covisint Connect data messaging service provides the means for a company to exchange information with partners and suppliers using XML, rather than EDI [electronic data interchange]. Connect also provides an any-to-any translation capability that works with both XML and EDI. The Connect service was developed—and funded—by a group of major automotive makers and suppliers, including General Motor Company, DaimlerChrysler AG, Johnson Controls Inc., Delphi Corp. and Lear Corp. A number of those companies are part of the Covisint automotive consortium that includes DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Co., GM, Renault S.A., Nissan Motor Co.<\/p>\n
The aim of Connect is to create an industry standard that will provide an across-the-board approach to information exchange in the automotive industry, officials said. A key piece to move that initiative forward is the group’s establishment of Business Object Documents, or BODs, standard formats for the most commonly-used transaction documents. Covisint, with the Connect consortium members, developed six BODs that look to represent a large number of the current-data messaging volume, officials said. Those BODs have been submitted to the AIAG [Automotive Industry Action Group] for publication.<\/p>\n
