RDR Implementation help and support

Background

The RDR WG has a responsibility to assist interested parties with RDR implementation activates and encourage conformant implementation of all parts of the RDR standard with the widest possible adoption within the relevant community, worldwide.

To fulfil this role the RDR WG engages in outreach activities that include open webinars, implementation seminars and, occasionally, face-to-face workshops. Members of the RDR WG also offer direct support to their business partners and are available to share their experience and support.

These experiences of implementing for example the MLC 1.4 messages, often as part of the RDx onboarding exercise, often requires implementers to carry out some internal reconfiguring, cleaning and restructuring of data and/or business processes.

For the implementation of for example RDR-R 1.1 however, the technical and data requirements are substantially less complex. In almost all cases all the data required to populate the RDR-R 1.1 standard already exists and only a one off mapping exercise needs to be undertaken to adopt the simple flat-file messages.

More information about the RDR standard and its various parts can be found here.
