VMS Selects Ascensus to Service Retirement Plans on Retirement RevolutionVertical Management Systems (VMS) is pleased to announce its selection of Ascensus as the preferred recordkeeper for plan sponsors on the Retirement Revolution (News - Alert) platform.

As a result of increased interest in these regulatory technology tools, VMS is committing 100% of its resources to developing innovative technology and software solutions for the financial services industry. VMS chose Ascensus (News - Alert) to be its preferred service provider due to its close working relationship and a shared commitment to the small 401(k) plan space. With Ascensus, VMS is confident that its Retirement Revolution clients will continue to enjoy quality, cost-effective recordkeeping services.
