(LIM), a leader in providing software to perform sophisticated historical energy, equity, bond and commodity research services, has selected Inflow Inc., a leading provider of managed web application hosting and outsourced IT services, as a new business partner.

 

Inflow-Austin has provided LIM with key technology strategies for the maintenance, delivery and warehousing of data to leading corporations.

"We selected Inflow-Austin because of its high level of expertise in the area of data maintenance and disaster recovery," stated Joe Frantz, Chief Operating Officer, LIM. "Our ability to create and deliver mission-critical, decision-making information from multiple sources is the cornerstone of our offering. We sought a partner that has extensive experience and understands the importance of the volume and depth of data we aggregate for our clients."

LIM processes over one million securities per day and collects data from more than 100 vendors worldwide. LIM's clients include leading energy companies and financial institutions such as ChevronTexaco and Bank of America, and data partners including Standard & Poor's and Global Insight. Critical to LIM's mission is efficiently delivering, preserving and backing up the information LIM compiles and tracks on behalf of the analysts it serves.

Inflow-Austin is providing LIM with a suite of solutions to address these requirements, including recovery, back-up and optimization strategies. Inflow provided its Business Impact Analysis (BIA) service to assist the company in developing a cost-effective and comprehensive plan that fit its requirements as an enterprise service for leading corporations worldwide.

"LIM provides a sophisticated service to leading corporations, and processes high volumes of data and transactions on an ongoing basis," stated Cameron Brown, General Manager, Inflow-Austin.
