James Evans & Associates (JEA) Ltd Launches Enterprise Software Solution

VICTORIA, BC, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - James Evans & Associates (JEA) Ltd, a leading Canadian pension solutions company, is pleased to announce the successful launch of a modern enterprise software solution for the Public Employees Benefits Agency (PEBA), a branch of the Government of Saskatchewan's Ministry of Finance.

Leveraging JEA's suite of configurable products, PEBA members, employers and administrators benefit from a fully integrated pension administration system.  Anchored by JEA's PENFAX 5 administrative software, this most recent phase of the solution is for the Public Employees Pension Plan (PEPP), the largest defined contribution (DC) plan in Canada.  The solution also offers online digital services for members and employers by leveraging JEA's online service portals which include PENWEB 5 and Data Capture Tool 5 (DCT 5) respectively.  The success of this modernization project will support PEBA's administration needs for many years to come. 

This latest endeavor builds on a partnership that began over 30 years ago, with the initial launch of JEA's PENFAX administration system for PEBA's Municipal Employees' Pension Plan (MEPP). In 2019, JEA successfully upgraded MEPP to PENFAX 5 and also introduced online employer and member service portals.  "We at JEA recognize PEBA's ongoing commitment to service delivery for both their members and employers and also PEBA's contributions leading to a successful system implementation," said Jim Evans, JEA's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We view our continued mutual success as the result of collaborative accomplishments with PEBA over the years, and a strong partnership with a clear mission to deliver world class technology solutions."
