CIC Meeting, Minneapolis, Minn.
April 5-6, 2001
Rick Tuuri, Director of Industry Relations
"ADP clearly supports and has always supported CIECA and their stated mission. ADP also believes that any responsible company should take appropriate data security measures in order to protect their clients and preserve the integrity of e-commerce.
"As an advocate of safe business practices, ADP will continue to work diligently to promote and establish proper security procedures and protocols for the collision industry. ADP will also continue to work with our business partners, our clients and their trading partners to ensure the responsible and appropriate use of all information contained within estimating and management systems. ADP's clients can rest assured that their communications and information are secure on the Internet within ADP communications software.
"Although ADP takes the issue of data security and privacy very seriously, we also recognize that the industry is still working on all of the issues related to implementing and managing secure transactions over the Internet. Therefore, ADP has no plans to encrypt output files from the Shoplink, Stellix or PenPro applications, and will not take any measures regarding this issue until the appropriate standards and policies are created-or unless it is deemed necessary by clients, business partners or government regulations."
Jim Dickens,
Group Vice President, Automotive Services
