Increased level of automation

Our solution makes extensive use of the automated workflow within the Matching Engine to automate many tasks that previously required manual intervention. This coupled with the data integration in the system means that tasks are automated and data linkage is easily visible.

Automating data input offers significant opportunities for CMOs to reduce costs. Our modern ingestion module allows for automatic ingestion, matching and posting of inbound work registrations in a variety of standard formats. This “straight through processing” is a key feature of the Matching Engine and is driven by our out-of-the-box integration and modern cloud technologies.

The solution drives down administrative costs through automation using workflows and automated data input through integration with 3rd party data sources.
