Today s environment is taking a complicated manual process and turning it into a complicated and often costly automated process. PIN is designed to alleviate the problems of having to support multiple systems and multiple data standards. PIN is an open network that any system can use as long as certain standards are followed. This means that states can now exchange electronic information with any company by maintaining only one network connection and one software program. Companies are no longer locked into purchasing a proprietary system that allows them to talk only with states that support that proprietary system.
Companies can choose to develop their own system or they can use a vendor package.
