The pace of change in the pensions field has been dramatic in recent years. And it shows no signs of slowing down.

Changes are likely to continue apace, while government and European Union policy, company practice and market requirements continue to develop.

As a consequence, pensions organisations and their advisers are faced with increasingly complex legal structures and extended liability for compliance breaches - while all the time needing to meet shorter deadlines to achieve their own objectives.

In such an environment the need for high quality, accurate and timely information has become crucial. But in practice the core information is fragmented, widely spread and difficult to digest. Furthermore the flood of comment and opinion shows no sign of diminishing.

Pendragon uniquely understands the issues facing the pensions world as it is managed by executives with direct working experience of the movement. Pendragon keenly appreciates the needs of pensions professionals; how they require information delivered, and in particular the speed and urgency of that delivery.

Above all, Pendragon recognises the priorities of reliability, accuracy and continual development of services to meet changing requirements.

Pendragon's experience of the pensions industry's needs for knowledge is not merely theoretical; it is allied to an understanding of the working practices of managers, investment managers, employers, trustees, administrators, consultants, accountants, actuaries and lawyers.

This means that an electronic solution cannot be the exclusive solution. To enable the industry to provide an effective service, seminars, courses, books and periodicals will remain essential, but concurrently with sophisticated computer-based systems. Pendragon offers a complete range of solutions to the movement's perpetual search for information and training.

Electronic solutions, however, do offer additional facilities to those conventionally supplied by books and magazines. Searching, comparative analysis, comfort that information has not been overlooked, can best be achieved by computer-based systems. Through its flagship product, Perspective, Pendragon provides the leading source of electronic information in the field.

In whatever form the pensions professional needs, and in whatever format that is most easily used, Pendragon delivers timely, relevant and essential information.
