Bravura Solutions has implemented the first in a range of technological applications for Statewide super fund, TalisPension.
Statewide will use the Sonata Suite application TalisPension to administer and report on its superannuation pensions, using a client service screen to help representatives access client information more easily.
The Sonata Suite applications include TalisPension, TalisTrust, SonataSuperB, Sonata Business Services and Sonata Mart.
Statewide engaged Bravura to upgrade its existing systems in September last year and extended its licence for Bravura's online ePASS system. The applications will also create a single database for client records.
"TalisPension will allow Statewide to provide its members with an enhanced level of service and efficiency. This is one of a number of key milestones achieved and we look forward to progressing with the implementation of SonataSuperB," said the acting chief executive of Statewide, Bill Watson.
