(Source: Business Wire)With the unpredictability of today's economic markets affecting the retirement plans of millions of Americans, Prudential Retirement and MullinTBG are meeting the demand for user-friendly tools and resources that provide comprehensive retirement plan access. New Total Retirement Solutions (TRS) compatibility established between the two companies' benefit platforms enables plan sponsors, participants and advisors alike to easily and more effectively manage all of their qualified and nonqualified benefit programs.

"The integration of critical Prudential Retirement and MullinTBG business systems streamlines how information is relayed, providing essential benefits to our clients, advisor partners and executive participants," said Mike Shute, MullinTBG's chief executive officer. "There's now a single payroll feed, consolidated benefit statements, single sign-on access to qualified and nonqualified plans and financial planning tools, and coordinated call center functionality to handle inquiries about all accounts."

The plan to coordinate administrative functionality between Prudential Retirement and MullinTBG was initiated in the fall of 2008 when Prudential entered into an agreement to acquire MullinTBG Insurance Agency Services, LLC.
