In the retirement industry, the need to simplify, streamline, and modernize operations is becoming increasingly evident. This often entails updating technology and moving away from outdated, legacy platforms. Unfortunately, the providers of legacy platforms may lack the incentive or expertise to update their technology infrastructure, leaving firms grappling with inefficiencies and outdated systems. Legacy systems can also hinder the integration of newer technologies, leading many organizations to cobble together various platforms to access the capabilities they require.
Amid these challenges, firms often opt to transition to a new platform. However, selecting the wrong one can result in unintended repercussions. For instance, if the chosen platform lacks a track record of continuous investment in its core recordkeeping platform, it may face difficulties in modernizing. Consequently, its capacity to drive efficiencies over time could be compromised. Without a growth-forward platform, you may encounter limitations in scalability and flexibility, impacting your time to market and new product needs. Furthermore, the provider's lack of ongoing investments may affect their ability to ensure data security and comply with regulatory changes.
This is why choosing the right provider is so crucial. It should be a proven leader committed to investing in technology infrastructure. Moreover, the provider should offer a scalable solution and have experience implementing the platform with minimal disruption to clients. By selecting a single provider with a customizable platform, you can easily scale up your operations without the hassle of managing the system yourself. This allows you to focus on what matters most—your business.
