RSS from Web Services?

My organization has recently moved a portion of its Website offiste to be hosted by an Application Service Provider. Until their system is able to output RSS for us from the content we add to that data almost every day (several times on many days , in fact), I am wondering if there is a way to build an RSS file from data received from say, a Web services interface on the provider. Presently, we are re-entering the content where we formerly entered it (our in house CMS) when we still hosted that content here. I jumped into the code of that CMS when the content was submitted, and wrote the RSS file using the file system object, so that the RSS got updated whenever a new story went in.

I don’t want to have to re-enter this data, so getting it output in a form that I can then write into an RSS file would be ideal. Any ideas out there amongst you developers? (No, we don’t have direct access to their database. And we can’t write our own asp to give to them to pull it out of their database, at least not at this time).
