ASCi's DGEM Launch Successful Beyond Expectations
Administrators now create plan docs in minutes instead of hours!
LOS ANGELES, CA – June 30, 2006 –
ASCi's Document Generation & Management (DGEM) system, launched just several months ago, has been an overwhelming success. "Beyond our expectations," says Alan Gould, President of ASC.
The system is incredibly user-friendly, according to the many enthusiastic emails received by the ASCi support team. "We just finished our first interim EGTRRA document using the DGEM System," writes David Bagley, Senior Pension Administrator. "I have to admit, it was fun...I can't wait to do EGTRRA restatements in the client's office! From the way the document went, this system will be a 100% improvement over our previous vendor!"
DGEM is a result of ASC's joint venture with Charles Lockwood and John Griffin, formerly of Global Benefits Advisors (GBA). Lockwood and Griffin draft the plan documents and related materials, while an ASC team designs and automates the system.
Administrators can now create plan documents in minutes instead of hours. Using .NET technology, DGEM is simple to learn and use. To create a plan document, administrators check the correct answers in a simple checklist and the document is generated without any additional input. Documents can be easily edited if necessary, and historical documents are stored in the system, allowing easy retrieval of prior plan documents and amendments.
DGEM can be used to create new plan documents, EGTRRA restatements, or plan amendments. An amendment wizard included with DGEM allows administrators to generate hundreds or thousands of amendments in a fraction of the time. The amendment wizard includes a status tracking feature, enabling administrators to easily track the status of each client's amendments.
Since the original launch date, ASCi has been updating DGEM regularly, rapidly expanding the list of available documents. DGEM currently includes Volume Submitter and Prototype plan documents for PS/401(k), PS, MP, and Standardized plans, and other plans are on the way.
ASCi's quick response to client requests is another oft-mentioned point in client emails. "Client requests are seriously considered and often implemented immediately," says Lockwood. "We've built the system in a way that allows us to make changes quickly and efficiently in response to client requests," adds Gould.
