There are some things that just make sense
There have been several requests from Talis Source contributors (I suspect UnityUK are receiving the same requests from their contributors) . They have asked why we don’t have a single mechanism to contribute to both Talis Source and UnityUK? This is a very sensible request as this removes the duplication of effort and reduces the burden of contribution for our shared customers with the benefits being shared by all.
So would Talis support this request? Would we be able or even willing to actually do this? Well the answer is a resounding yes to all questions from Talis. We would be willing and able to increase the ease in which people can contribute to and benefit from our architecture of participation, providing that this is a reciprocal arrangement and as is the case now when contributing to Talis Source, there should be no form of cost incurred by the data supplier.
Therefore we have approached UnityUK directly for their input in to how we can actually work “together” to achieve this and we await their response. In the meantime, please feel free to communicate with either Talis or UnityUK if this is a course of action you would wish to pursue. Together we can all make this happen.
Our contributions from Talis Source users continue to go from strength to strength. We have processed our 50 millionth record already this year with 30 million of those records having been processed in the last 8 weeks. This has increased our holdings count to over 48 million and it is increasing by the day.
Many thanks for all your contributions.
