NIIT Technologies building Yorkshire Building Society's online Share Plan

NIIT Technologies has been chosen by Yorkshire Building Society to develop its Share Plan website.

The new website is intended to enable the mutual to compete in the Share Plan market more effectively and develop new sales opportunities, particularly with large organisations.

The new web-based functionality will also incorporate international capabilities, which should help Yorkshire Building Society achieve its plans to increase its share of the international market.

NIIT Technologies will be designing the site to have greater visual impact especially for sales tools and static pages, featuring higher impact graphics. The site will also reduce the level of manual resources required to process Share Plans, improving efficiency costs for the mutual.

David Henderson, CIO at Yorkshire Building Society, said: "Working with NIIT Technologies to create a new website for our Share Plan business will enable us to more effectively defend our current share of this competitive market. The new site will also put us in a strong position to optimise the opportunities offered both in the UK and internationally."

Adrian Coles, director general of the Building Societies Association commented: "It is very pleasing to see Yorkshire Building Society, a member of the BSA, and NIIT Technologies, a BSA Associate, working so closely together.  I'm sure this relationship will bring widespread benefits to Yorkshire Building Society's members, and illustrates how well NIIT Technologies understands the needs of the building society sector in the current challenging economic conditions.
