Russell Investments has implemented Bravura' ePass online superannuation solution to help deliver straight through processing to Prime Super.
Global asset manager Russell Investments was appointed by Prime Super in 2011 to deliver administration services to its 135,000 members and 40,000 employees.
With the ability to process member contributions straight through to Prime Super's underlying administration system, Russell director of administration and consulting services Siva Sivakumaran said the online technology would lead to significant back-office efficiency gains for the provider.
According to Bravura, the ePass solution can be implemented in a single product or single administration system setting, or can be used in more complex set-ups with multiple products and systems.
