In addition to improving the look, feel and overall ease of use of Westminster’s patented CSA platform, a number of important workflow and efficiency improvements have been added including:

  • Streamlined CSA ‘click to pay’ functionality;
  • Additional approval queues, allowing clients to create multi-step authorization processes within their own workflow;
  • Easy upload and transmission of invoice and broker vote files to Westminster; and
  • Improvements to statements, account snapshots, invoice approval and trade detail queues.

To complement these client facing enhancements, upgrades were also made to Westminster’s internal supporting applications including faster servers and innovative workflow tools.

When combined, these front and back office enhancements will improve Westminster’s industry leading offering and further establish Westminster’s comprehensive commission management solution as the benchmark against which others are measured.

"As the use of CSAs and CCAs continues to grow, the need to expand our on-line CSA management capabilities has become paramount," said Tim O’Halloran, co-president of Westminster.
