Press release 12th June 2009
Perspective Technologies (Perspective) today announced that along with Tokio Marine Global Limited (TMG) and RI3K they have successfully undertaken the implementation of ACORD messaging for TMG based on RI3K's low-cost RDX data feed and onMessage, the ACORD gateway provided by Perspective.
TMG Head of IT Steve Perkins said "We are very pleased that Perspective brought the RDX proposition to our attention and speedily installed an RDX component into the onMessage gateway. This allows us to process RDX alongside more traditional ACORD messaging without the need for separate workflows. RI3K are delivering web based platforms for some of the leading brokers and underwriters in the market. This innovative solution will provide a more efficient and enhanced processing of business between ourselves and our broking partners".
Perspective Director Dave Wichmann added "We were very impressed with the documentation and support offered by RI3K to get RDX up and running for our client very quickly. TMG and RI3K have both demonstrated great commitment and tactical awareness in the furtherance of ACORD-based placing. This will deliver considerable benefits and continues the long standing relationship between our two organisations."
Robin Merttens, Chief Operating Officer of RI3K said of the collaboration "We are delighted that Perspective had the insight to bring this opportunity to us. Together, we have implemented a cost effective data feed for TMG which is ideal for their current RI3K data needs. TMG is showing the underwriting community how to get value from e-trading. We look forward to working with both companies to evolve the service from here.”
