As you probably know, several CRIS and IR providers (Pure, Symplectic, dSpace) have developed such services, including as part of the Cerif in Action project  (http://cerifinaction.wordpress.com/about/) where one of the key use cases demonstrated is the ability to upload data to the RCUK's new Research Outcomes System from an Institutional CRIS or IR.
