The Pensions industry has several challenges that will influence how it evolves over the next few years. A few of these challenges are change in focus from accumulation to decumulation, regulatory changes that introduce standards for guided advice, fragmentation of the value chain, WRAP platform and the emergence of direct channels. Also, the changing demographics and the increasing number of aged pensioners imply the need for introducing new products for this segment.
The transformation of the Pensions industry is driven by factors such as technology to support direct channels, integration into wrap platforms and back office processes, replacement of legacy systems to include SOA and Web Services, STP and regulatory changes. More often than not, it is the inflexibility of the existing old Policy Administration System which hinders any operational changes to face the new market realities.
