NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/25/08 -- FinAnalytica Inc., provider of post-modern risk management and portfolio construction analytics, and RIMES Technologies Corporation, leading financial data aggregator, today announced a partnership that will allow SmartFiles, RIMES' full-service customized data delivery solution to feed FinAnalytica's CognityFoF analytics platform.

"Integrating RIMES SmartFiles service into our CognityFoF platform allows us to be responsive to customer demand for high quality, timely risk factor data. Using RIMES' best-of-breed data aggregation and delivery allows us to focus on FinAnalytica's best-of-breed risk and portfolio construction analytics."
