As a result of a long-term agreement signed between TecAlliance and MAM Software, TecDoc’s official data suppliers can now simplify the data conversion process into MAM format, confident in the knowledge that it will be carried out efficiently and with the necessary precision.

Shaun Greasley, commercial director for TecAlliance UK & Ireland said, “This has been a challenging project undertaken at the request of a number of TecAlliance suppliers that need to make their standardised data available to MAM for the UK and Irish market. Our suppliers’ data is a precious resource and data processing is a complicated activity. Inaccuracies or mistakes affect their credibility and are potentially costly. However, by coming to an agreement with MAM Software, the two parties responsible for their respective datasets, have made it possible for suppliers to find a safe third-party solution, should they not have the internal resource to undertake the process in-house.”

Shaun adds, “The solution covers passenger car and light commercial vehicle applications for the UK and Ireland, and the procedure allows the reliable manipulation of our TecDoc data into the format necessary for the MAM platform. This arrangement ensures a smooth conversion process and improves accuracy to the mutual benefit of all parties.”

Nigel Clemett, general manager at MAM Software commentd, "We are delighted to announce this agreement, which will allow us to offer simplified data maintenance programmes to the many component suppliers who submit information to both catalogues. We have already performed conversions for a number of high profile suppliers, and the results are extremely positive."
