IMM, Ascensus Form Strategic Partnership
Partnership to establish expedient, secure signing process for IRA
documents with electronic documents, eSignatures
LINDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IMM,
a provider of eTransaction automation solutions for the modern business
enterprise, announced today a new strategic partnership with Ascensus,
the country’s largest independent retirement and college savings service
provider. The companies will collaborate to integrate IMM’s eSignature
technology into the Ascensus Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
platform, IRAdirect®.
By eliminating paper in favor of electronic documents, IRAdirect
will provide organizations a paperless solution for its IRA program.
Integrating eSignatures from IMM will allow Ascensus to expand the
degree of efficiency delivered through IRAdirect, giving
customers and end-user consumers a streamlined, convenient experience
for signing IRA documents and other forms.
“With this partnership we are bringing together two like-minded
companies with common goals: helping organizations apply technology to
improve operations and provide a better overall consumer experience,”
said John Levy, executive vice president of IMM. “We have been working
with Ascensus for quite some time, and delivering our eSignature
technology as an embedded option within IRAdirect elevates our
level of collaboration to support Ascensus’ operational and compliance
needs.”
IMM’s eSignature technology automatically archives completed documents
and creates a continuous audit trail. These inherent features within the
technology will create new back-end efficiencies and compliance benefits
for Ascensus customers.
“The competitive advantage that comes with the ability to provide a
paperless, eSignature solution cannot be understated,” stated Steve
Christenson, executive vice president of Ascensus. “We are excited to
work with IMM in order to improve operational efficiency on our end
and—most importantly—provide a better and easier overall experience for
our IRA administration clients using IRAdirect.”
