Alistair Johnston Email & Phone Number

I have worked in the Life and Pension industry for over 30 years across a wide range of business and change roles and have worked with Criterion since it was created in 2017.I have been involved in the development of a number of Criterion API Standards; the API Standards for the Pensions Dashboard Prototype, carried out a wide range of research and I’m currently working on Protection product related Standards. I am also the lead analyst on the STAR Transfer initiative working closely with industry and regulatory stakeholders and a member of the Pension Administration Standards Association Transfers Working Group.Our goal at Criterion is to collaborate with the financial services industry to provide seamless integration and innovation. Criterion serves both business and technical professionals, and caters to various sectors within the financial services industry, including pensions, investments, wealth management and equity release. Criterion has earned the trust of our customers by effectively maintaining and managing industry Standards through strong working group relationships and delivering for the whole industry. This trust has been built over 30 years and is based on our reliability, reputation, extensive experience, and streamlined products that serve our clients’ needs.➡️Industry inefficiencies Our Standards provides integration opportunities and automation for specific financial services which can lead and develop efficient processes and reduce the risk of human error. For example, the LoA API Standards provides an automated method of gathering information about clients’ existing policies.➡️Collaboration There is a natural reluctance in the industry to collaborate with organisations that are considered as competitors. Criterion provides an independent governance service, which facilities collaboration, and innovation, to develop, implement and maintain Standards for the whole industry. ➡️Technology Criterion provides data integration Standards that allow the industry to utilise the Standards and modern OpenAPI Specification technology to streamline and standardise processes across the whole industry.
