AAMVA Hosts Inaugural NMVTIS State Users Workshop

AAMVA held its first ever NMVTIS State Users Workshop in Tampa, Florida last week. There were 157 participants from 48 jurisdictions in attendance. Georgia Steele, EdD, Chief Performance Officer for the State of Georgia Department of Revenue, and President, AAMVA Region 2, was the keynote speaker. She provided insights on how NMVTIS protects against fraud and theft and prevents unsafe vehicles from being titled, and the role each state plays in that effort. The workshop format enabled Vehicle Titling, Law Enforcement and information technology users to focus on their specific facets of NMVTIS. The workshop targeted people who work with NMVTIS every day in their state. Topics included use of NMVTIS best practices, handling help desk issues, NMVTIS modernization, and vehicle fraud prevention with a focus on small group discussion.

This Week's Webinars

NMVTIS State Web Interface (SWI)  – Understanding the Administrative Features

Tuesday, February 11, 2020, 2:00 - 3:00 pm (ET)

The NMVTIS SWI Web Application is used by the states to perform title verification and data corrections. This webinar focuses on how the states use the administrative features to oversee the states user community. A brief overview of the SWI application is also provided. The SWI application has been built so that each state manages their own user community. This includes configuring the system with organizations to which users are assigned. The state administrator is responsible for user role assignments and user account activation and deactivation. The SWI Application also includes a reporting component that allows state administrators to monitor user activity. 

Note: This webinar is for AAMVA jurisdiction and federal members only.

NMVTIS Suspense Resolution for Online States (Web Service Version) – Part 2 

Thursday, February 13, 2020, 1:00 - 2:00 pm (ET)

NMVTIS has two third party transactions that involve updates between the central site and multiple states. Because the transactions involve multiple states and the central site, it is possible for a transaction to break down before it completes. Further activity against this title record is greatly restricted until the problem is resolved. This webinar provides instruction as to how to identify and resume suspended transactions. The intended audience for this webinar are NMVTIS Help Desk Personnel, Business Process Analyst and IT System Integrators.

NMVTIS State Web Interface (SWI) – How to Correct Title and Brand Data on the Central Site

Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 2:00 - 3:00 pm (ET)

In the past, states contacted the AAMVA Help Desk directly if they needed to make a data correction. As part of the NMVTIS reengineering effort, a Help Desk feature was created to allow states to correct their title and brand data on the central site. When states perform their own data corrections the timeliness and accuracy of the data corrections improves substantially. This webinar is focused on explaining the capability of the Help Desk feature as included in the SWI. Data correction scenarios are explained and matched to the correct update operation within the SWI. A brief overview of the SWI application will also be provided
