California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS), the largest MLS in the country, and Bridge Interactive Group (Bridge), a leading provider of data security, add/edit RETS capabilities, and data distribution software for the real estate industry, today announced they have entered into an agreement to use multiple instances of Bridge's Contact server to distribute data on behalf of CRMLS' 73,000 members.

"By combining our ability to aggregate and map several MLS database structures into a common schema with Bridge's powerful Contact server technology, we are able to execute on one of the most important functions of our business: providing the secure access to data at the lowest possible cost," said Art Carter, CEO of CRMLS. "Bridge's technology provides robust reporting tools, simple but powerful data distribution controls, performance and reliability at a reasonable price. Also, their Contact server being RETS 1.8.2 compliant will allow us to offer Update in the near future."
