Brooks Raiford, president and CEO of NCTA, which commissions the NC Tech Awards acknowledged IFS as a leading technology firm: "Since 1995, the NC Tech Awards has honored excellence and innovation throughout North Carolina, representing the best and brightest. As a winner, IFS has distinguished itself as a peer-leader and we are proud to recognize them as a winner."

IFS was founded in 2002, but the company has seen enormous success in the past few years as more firms are looking to adopt automation software and technology as a way of improving efficiency, accuracy and compliance of business processes.

Between the SEC Money Market Fund Reform, Shortened Settlement Cycles (T+2) and the Department of Labor's Best Interest Contract Exception (DOL – BICE), 2016 is slated to be another busy year for the financial services industry.

And, with the rise of FinTech—or financial technology— financial services companies are looking to software providers to help them adapt and improve automation of their processes while strengthening regulatory compliance. One game-changing regulation certain to have a major impact on firms in 2016 is the aforementioned DOL BICE. As the DOL finalizes the fiduciary rule, IFS is working to ensure that its onboarding and managed account solutions will allow firms to easily automate compliance with the new rule. 

"Our recent success and acknowledgements are affirmation of the vision I had when I founded IFS over a decade ago," said Tim Parsons, CEO and founder, IFS. "With more financial services and insurance firms ready to embrace automation technology, we are excited to see what the future holds. We're confident that our automation platform will revolutionize the financial services industry, even as it continues to evolve."
