The Society of Pensions Consultants has deployed the new eShare 2010 platform to improve communications with their members across the pensions industry.
eShare will be used primarily to pull together and distribute committee papers, to work on consultation documents, to store and share knowledge and to allow members to communicate with each other.
eShare is already used by other industry wide organisations in a similar manner including the Retail Pensions Managers Group and Raising Standards of Pensions Administration.
eShare was recommended to the SPC by one of their partners who use eShare’s full suite of governance solutions to deliver a broad range of services including an eShare web based secretariat function and devolved risk management services.
eShare already work with most of the major consulting firms and those that they don’t work with will often be accessing eShare through their clients. It makes life easier for them if they can log in and access SPC committee papers and consultation documents in the same way that they access their client committee papers and documents. They can use the same username and password and the system looks identical.
“eShare are one of the clear industry leaders in the provision of governance software, they came recommended by one of our largest members and we can see huge benefits to both our team and our members; It was an easy decision to make,” says John Mortimer, Secretary to the SPC, “While initially we will only be using a fraction of the functionality that eShare provides, even so we expect eShare will deliver significant efficiencies and will help us to work much more effectively with our members.”
eShare anticipate that the project will lead SPC members to look at areas where eShare can improve and broaden the services they deliver to their client base.
“We are working with pensions consulting firms across the length and breadth of the UK and overseas to help them to deliver better services to their clients using technology. Those consulting firms find that eShare increases their revenue, delivers a better service to their clients and leaves their competitors behind. It makes sense that the same principles should apply when working with each other.” said Alister Esam, CEO of eShare.
