Working with Origo, Just Retirement will join other product providers, wrap platforms, financial advisers, portals and software companies to collaborate on identifying and addressing cost and efficiency issues that they cannot tackle in isolation.
Allen Murrough, Group IT Strategy Manager for Just Retirement, commented "Just Retirement is investing in a number of areas to introduce further service, technology and product innovation across the industry to help advisers and their clients maximise the benefits from their retirement income solutions and to do it more efficiently. We're pleased to become a sponsor of Origo and look forward to working alongside the other sponsors to introduce fresh ideas to the team."
Just Retirement is currently involved in Origo's At Retirement Standards, Options Pensions Transfer Service and Data Matching Service. As an Origo Sponsor, Just Retirement will help steer Origo's activities and provide their expertise on identifying and resolving cross-industry issues.
Paul Pettitt, Managing Director of Origo, added: "We're delighted to welcome Just Retirement as our newest Sponsor - recognising the value of collaboration to deliver cost saving services and standards to the industry and advisers in particular. Origo has a busy 2011 ahead with further enhancement of Standards in readiness for the RDR, plus developments to Agency Services and Options Pensions Transfer Services. We look forward to working closely with Just Retirement and our other Sponsors on these projects".
