Rowanmoor Pensions signs up to Dunstan Thomas Imago Back Office and Front Office

Dunstan Thomas today has supplied and integrated its Imago Front Office illustration and Imago Back Office pensions administration software suite to support the new Rowanmoor Pensions Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), launched earlier this month.

Dunstan Thomas has delivered Imago to enable Rowanmoor to service the full life cycle of pensions administration activities. The platform enables increased transactional and process automation allowing users to deal primarily with exceptions, which drive process efficiencies and best practices for Rowanmoor. The integrated workflow makes light work of most processes, allowing the user to focus on the client and not on administration tasks. The platform has been configured to allow Rowanmoor to scale up their exciting new SIPP offering with demand.

The Rowanmoor Pensions SIPP offers investors maximum flexibility before and during retirement. It can be tailored to provide as much investment freedom as possible within pension scheme rules. Retirement options include full and partial drawdown as well as the much talked about scheme pension option. Aimed at high-net-worth and mass affluent individuals, the Rowanmoor Pensions SIPP is designed to facilitate pensions savings, consolidation and income requirements, providing those with large, or potentially large, pension funds full flexibility with access to sophisticated investments.

Chris Read, chairman, Dunstan Thomas, explained:
“We are pleased to be able to extend our relationship with Rowanmoor into supporting its new high flexible and sophisticated SIPP product. We have no doubt this product will be well received in the market and we are very excited that it is being run on Imago. It is a mark of the maturity of both Imago Front Office and Imago Back Office that we have helped underpin such a high quality, complex SIPP offering.”
