Beacon Strategies, LLC Partners with Privva on Vendor Management to Help Enterprise Wealth Firms
DENVER, May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Beacon Strategies, LLC, a leading consulting and thought leader to enterprise retail wealth firms, is pleased to announce its newest service offering, named Vendor Management.
This new service supplies wealth firms with a vendor management framework. The technology and structure support the ongoing documentation needs demanded by regulators, as well as the option for an overlay infrastructure that helps relationship building with solution providers.
"Over the past two years we have been working on this service," Chip Kispert, Managing Partner, Beacon Strategies, shared. "The industry is in desperate need of a vendor management utility that is easy to use and efficiently supports digital updating and reporting."
To support Vendor Management, Beacon Strategies, LLC is also announcing its partnership with Privva.
"We traditionally do not partner with solution providers, as we are an independent consulting firm," Kispert continued. "Yet, for Vendor Management, we decided to partner versus build. After looking at the balance of vendor management platforms, we see Privva as being the leader when it comes to ease of use, flexible digital architecture, and visual reporting. We are so excited to be working with Privva and delivering a vendor management utility that caters to the firms in our enterprise wealth eco-system. As part of releasing the Vendor Management Platform and Service, our goal is to supply a utility. We have a simple to use platform that streamlines the vendor management process, and helps firms gather digital documentation, that roles up into an elegant measurement reporting experience."
"Privva is excited about the partnership with Beacon Strategies to continue Privva's expansion in the financial services industry," said Ishan Girdhar, CEO of Privva. "Privva and Beacon's visions are aligned on the execution of vendor management in the retail wealth space and their expertise and relationships combined with Privva's product will benefit the industry."
To help with Vendor Management, Beacon has enlisted the help of Jerry Wackerhagen, the former COO of First Command. One of Jerry's many accomplishments at First Command was to build an industry-leading vendor relationship program.
"By putting in place our vendor relationship program, we aligned our firm needs with our vendors deliverable technologies and services," Wackerhagen emphasized. "The result of our relationship work translated to serving our advisors better."
