Testimonials

“Our existing mainframe-based pension system was outdated, impossible to maintain, and excruciatingly manual. We sent out more than a dozen RFPs looking for a replacement, but only the PensionGold PE solution offered the right mix of functionality, industry reputation, and technological superiority.”

“The goal of the movement to shared Services in SOA is a dramatic reduction in implementation time, cost, complexity, and upgrade pain ... In order to achieve these benefits, the company (LRS) had to rebuild their application from the ground up to be service oriented - a bold and courageous step that many companies are hesitant to take, but absolutely necessary to realize the benefits of SOA.”

“The Public School and Education Employee Retirement Systems of Missouri are extremely excited about this partnership. After careful and painstaking review of the alternatives available, we came to the conclusion that Levi, Ray & Shoup's PensionGold PE solution offered us the best available choice to take us into the next generation of pension administration. The fact that they also have a wealth of public pension knowledge gained by immersing themselves in the public pension arena for nearly 20 years helped solidify our decision.”

“I was searching for a pension system that would enable our office to automate manual procedures, reduce workload, and fit within our operating budget and guidelines. In addition, the employees of Levi, Ray & Shoup worked relentlessly with us in order to provide a service and system that fit well for all our needs. The references that we received regarding the PensionGold Advantage System were outstanding. I was impressed with the user-friendly screens and procedures that PensionGold Advantage had to offer and many features that would reduce manual workload and redundancy. As we move into the newest age of technology, I look forward to working with Levi, Ray & Shoup, and their ability to keep us on the cutting edge.”
