Remote Data Connector (RDC)

Overview

Sophisticated, scalable technologies allowing systems to connect to recordkeeping systems and other back office applications across disparate physical locations through simple XML interfaces. Optimized to the SunGard Omni and Schwab Retirement Technologies products. RDCs provide secure data transmissions through firewalls. Their small footprint and fast, efficient processing go virtually unnoticed within a client’s infrastructure yet provide high value to growing providers.

The Envisage RDC technologies are extensible to support even your proprietary systems. RDCs reduce the time to integrate new systems or third party product solutions to the client’s existing recordkeeping and other core systems applications by standardizing interfaces and access.

The RDC allows developers to tap into data stored in recordkeeping or other business systems through a simple, straightforward XML interface. XML interfaces allow RDC technology to function as a data provider for projects such as rate of return calculators, super statements, straight-through payroll processing, and online enrollment.

By design, RDCs entail a simple installation process and minimal load on the host computer. Use of HTTP and HTTPS protocols enables RDC positioning behind firewalls for maximum security and minimal configuration.
