The Financial Services industry continues to be under pressure
as a result of continual and far reaching changes. New
services must continually be developed to satisfy customer
demand, while systems must be constantly updated in order to
comply with the growing burden of regulation. In common with
the rest of industry, Financial Services organisations must
also maximise efficiency without risking their market
position.
Since the mid-1990s, IPL has been assisting our Financial
Services clients with consultancy advice and software
development services to enable them to meet the challenges
brought about by change. As a result, we have extensive
experience of solving complex problems in the Life & Pensions,
Collective Investment, Banking and General Insurance sectors.
By way of example:
-
IPL designed and built a generic unitised investment
solution, which enabled our client to launch a Stakeholder
pension product in just 6 weeks.
-
Within CRM, IPL has integrated multiple line of business
systems with both package and custom CRM software.
-
Within EFT, IPL has linked AUDDIS, ADDACS and ARUDDS with
core administration systems and developed interfaces to
enable collections, and payments via direct debit/credit.
-
IPL has managed the selection and implementation of Workflow
and EDM technologies for a range of Financial Services
clients.
-
IPL has implemented both traditional 3-ledger and unified
ledger systems to provide policy accounting.
-
IPL has managed on-line payroll feeds for a web-based GPP
administration system.
-
Within e-business, IPL has worked with the ORIGO XML
standard for both IFA portals and product providers,
including the development of white-label web capability for
several clients.
