GBST, provider of wealth administration software through its Composer® platform, has renewed its agreement with Just to deliver its platform capability to support their Flexible Pension Plan.
In 2015, Just (then Just Retirement) partnered with GBST to introduce platform capability via its award-winning Composer® solution to deliver a flexible pension plan proposition and allow customers to make the most of pension freedoms. Alongside the renewal of this partnership, under the new deal GBST will also provide business support, hosting and managed services.
David Simpson, Head of EMEA at GBST commented: “GBST’s technology launched Just Retirement’s flexible pension proposition two years ago. This extension of our agreement to provide continuing support to the enlarged Group’s ongoing product innovation as well as hosting and managed services via our UK based managed services team demonstrates the success of our strategic partnership. Our client relationships are about more than just technology; we deliver the speed and agility to innovate through the flexibility of Composer®, the subject matter expertise of our exceptional team of platform consultants and the transparency and integrity of our open communications culture. We look forward to supporting Just in further developing its products and services in the Retirement market.”
Hugh McKee; Managing Director, Retail Business, Just Group plc said: “We are looking forward to continuing our work with GBST to further develop our propositions using the capability their system provides. Ensuring customers can enjoy a fair and fulfilling retirement is core to our business and the functionality available from GBST can help achieve this.”
