Introduction to ROC

Registrars Online Certification (ROC) is a replacement RSS system developed by a Registration Service for a Registration Service. With 8 Registration Services already purchasing ROC and negotiations ongoing with 17 others, now is the time for your Registration Service to invest in their future and secure the integrity of all historical data currently stored within RSS.

ROC is built to run on industry standard hardware and software components commonly used by IT departments, so all you pay is the one off licence fee and other associated costs for your ROC Software purchase. This then provides you with a refined record search and certificate print process whilst ROC fully integrates with currently stored RSS data. This makes ROC the most cost effective solution for your Registration Service.

To aid your transition from RSS to ROC, you can feel safe in the knowledge that the ROC Support Staff are made up of former Registration Service employees. This puts the team in a fantastic position to understand any questions you have from both a Registration and IT level, whilst providing you with the best service possible.
