Structured Data


Designed by RAMP, Created for YOU

Accelerate Your Success

Pre-built connector packs accelerate the cycle time for your planning and analytics.

No more waiting for days in an IT queue for new data

loads.

Universal Data Connectivity

Whether the source is your transaction system, a flat file or custom database, our pre-built web services and APIs, pre-configured connectors,

and Import Wizard can connect to it.

True, Centralized Planning

Our proprietary, easy to use analytics interface engine allows users to fully utilize our suite of mapping tools.

A unified data view that mitigates siloed data for a truly centralized planning

process.

Applying years of successful project expertise, we created the RAMP Analytics Interface (AI) Engine. We developed and built a proprietary mapping UI that accelerates the time required to connect disparate systems. This serves as the basis for the RAMP technical engine that drives rapid data insight and decision reporting—enabled by pre-built connectors to your existing transactional systems.

The RAMP Integrated Solution Architecture (RISA) makes it easy to connect and merge data from multiple sources—general ledgers, ERP, CRM, Procurement and others—by utilizing our proprietary connectors to import transaction data directly from your source systems into our pre-configured engine. This unifies the data and eliminates the errors caused by manual entry in the translation process.


Single Sign-On

RISA works seamlessly with your existing SSO service. Users easily and securely access RISA applications and data using the same credentials.

Integrated Data Loads

RISA automated data load rules define and schedule import during

non-business hours.

Pre-built Connector Packs

Simply configure our delivered connectors instead of building connections to your business

systems from scratch.

Data Import Wizard

Users can select specific accounts or cost centers and upload flat

files through a user-friend click-to-load process.

API Connectivity

Integrate functionality with any source, including homegrown

applications, custom databases and legacy systems.

Seamless Data Connections

Whether the source is your transaction system, a flat file or custom database, our pre-built web services and APIs, pre-configured connectors and Import Wizard can connect to it.
