# About IDM The [Daten Competence Center e. V.](https://dcc-moebel.org) (DCC), is an independent, non-profit association that is involved in all areas of data communication for variant-rich and planning-intensive furniture. The DCC developed the uniform, standardized data format IDM ("Integriertes Datenmodell") in 2002. IDM enables a smooth exchange of information between industry, trade and software houses. The further development of IDM is a focal point of the DCC work. The results are not only useful for the stationary distribution channel, but also used for online retail. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
