Data is supplied to QAS in a raw flat file format. The data is then compressed and indexed by a specialist team to ensure maximum compression, speed and accuracy. Data is rigorously tested at every stage of the process.
A full audit trail to the holders of the copyright of each country's data will be provided and QAS will not supply any data unless a resale agreement is in place. This means that data suppliers are contractually obliged to provide regular updates of their data, which QAS then supplies to end users. These updates are essential to ensure data integrity.
