Cornell-Mayo Associates is a proud supporter of ARTS and their efforts to reduce technology costs by providing standards. IXRetail (International XML Retail Cooperative) has built upon the ARTS Data Model to develop standard XML schemas and message sets to ease Application to Application (A to A) integration within a retail enterprise.

ARTS Conformance
CMA has previously used the ARTS Data Model to implement its OPUS/R™ Database Engine. Now, CMA joins a select group of retail technology providers who have gone through the IXRetail Conformance Process.

The IXRetail POSLog v2.1 Standard
The POSLog v2.1 Standard provides mapping for all standard POS Transaction Records. That means that the CMA TLOG can be translated to XML and that translated ouput can be used to populate any system. The translation can take place in real time so that a store's sales data can be made available to any system through the use of this open standard.
