Key features

The award-winning service which improves the quality, cost effectiveness, speed and reliability of managing multiple sets of data to give you complete control over the data you receive and how it is presented

Fully managed, day after dayRIMES offers a unique, flexible and fully managed service: unlike other providers, which install their software then let your team deal with any potential data quality issues, we manage your data day after day so that you don’t need to worry about operations, corrections or management of your feeds.

Formatted to your requirementsAll parameters for data validation are set according to your specifications and formatting requirements. You select precisely how much data you want to receive – from one file based on a single data source right through to the management of your entire data infrastructure. You get all the data you need, in the required format to fit your system.

Award Winning Data QualityThe RIMES rigorous data checking system ensures that the data you receive is already validated. Our quality assurance procedures employ automated system processes together with personal analysis of all database records as part of the validation procedures.These procedures validate your files and confirm that individual data items are within acceptable parameters. You can specify additional checks and warnings e.g. if you want to tighten the permitted residual for any given benchmark.

Continuous Data TrackingExceptions to any data validation failures are immediately highlighted and investigated by our Global Support Team. We notify you if your data fails any check, if it’s delayed, revised or resubmitted. We also notify the data suppliers if any data is believed to be inaccurate so that they can review it, correct it and resupply it. You are kept continuously updated throughout this process. After corrections have been issued, we notify you, load the revised data, rerun validation checks and reissue the relevant files to you.

The RIMES Global Support Team is on call 24 hours a day through the working week, including weekends. Our team’s technical excellence and understanding of data ensures that problems are resolved rapidly and effectively. Our file-tracking service allows you

to monitor the processing and delivery of your data online. Comprehensive journaling records real time data flows. You can trace the progress of your data from the original update on our servers through to final file delivery using RIMES online journaling system.

System Specific Data FormattingAll data on RIMES is formatted according to your specific criteria and delivered via files customized to exactly fit your systems. Data is delivered via FTP, securely across the internet. You will receive data that is ready to use in your applications, no special software interface or feed-handlers are required. Your systems can start receiving data in days. Even the most complicated implementation can be set up within a few weeks.
