SCRS Position Statement: The Estimate
The Board of Directors of the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS), in addressing the issues surrounding data applications, has issued the following statement:
We believe:
- That an estimate and all of the included data is the property of the Company creating it.
- That the estimate remains the creative property of the Company even though other sources of information or intellectual systems may have been leased or purchased to assist in producing it.
- That as with any creative property, the Company has the sole determination as to how that estimate may be used and transmitted to others.
- That in order for a collision repair facility to serve the needs of its clients and business partners it requires the ability to generate the estimate and communicate it, without restriction, to its partners in the repair process.
- That any communication process must take place using open, standards-based, systems that are fully secure.
