With Epicor we will be able to move away from manual processes and convert to a streamlined, automated and paperless environment. Epicor gives us the ability to drill down and drill across data so we can analyze our business performance in a structured and efficient manner. We can rely on our information systems to run key financial analyses such as profitability reports and return metrics, and to make this part of a standardized process so we can make timely and more strategic business decisions.”

Legal & General America selected Epicor for its depth of functionality and its approach to accessing critical business information, and expects the solution to help the company expand on how they report and analyze data company-wide. With a key focus on better customer service through productivity, efficiency and effectiveness, Epicor will provide the company with powerful, robust yet easy-to-use financial management tools that will greatly simplify business processes and will be integral to tracking financial performance across the enterprise.. Improved reporting will lead to greater financial governance and compliance and will help Legal & General America address rigorous regulatory standards like the Model Audit Rule (MAR).

Matt Muldoon, vice president of product marketing for Epicor, said, “We are excited that Legal & General America has selected our Epicor for Financial Services solution. Financial institutions increasingly need to demonstrate organization-wide transparency and correspondingly require effective controls and reporting around products and services offered. Epicor will provide the level of financial visibility and business process efficiencies Legal & General America requires to execute strategic business decisions and optimize business performance.”
