| Hitachi Consulting UK Helps JLT Extend the Benefits of BenPal Hitachi Consulting UK has announced the development and delivery of a standalone version of the BenPal pension modeller for use on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch platforms for JLT Benefit Solutions Limited. The new modeller is a standalone version of the existing enterprise class integrated pension and benefits management system that HCUK originally designed and built with JLT, delivered as an iPhone application available for download free in the iTunes App Store now. The BenPal modeller allows an employee to determine the projected value of their pension based upon a number of simple facts about themselves and their pension scheme and provides the employee with a rich, graphical interface which can be used to model the effect of changes in contribution, retirement age and other variables on the final value of their pension. The modeller can also be used to determine what the employee would need to contribute in order to retire with a pension of a certain value. HCUK was appointed by JLT to scope, design and build an iPhone version of the original modeller, taking into account BenPal's look and feel, to reflect the central branding and creative imagery. The project, adhering to Apple's development and human interface guidelines, was completed within eight weeks, which included the design and build of a calculation engine and automated testing. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
