The Challenge: Operations in Financial Services
Managing operations in financial services is uniquely complex. Your client data lives acrossmultiple systems—your CRM, portfolio management software, financial planning tools,compliance databases, document management systems, and more. Each system holds apiece of the puzzle, but none of them talk to each other effectively.
You're spending countless hours on manual data entry, copying information between systems, fixing inconsistencies, and tracking down complete client information. Your advisors waste timesearching for data instead of serving clients. Your marketing team can't build accuratesegments because contact information is incomplete. Your compliance team struggles withaudit trails because data is scattered. And meanwhile, duplicate records multiply, data quality deteriorates, and your team's productivity suffers.
You need a way to unify your data, maintain its quality automatically, connect your disparate systems, and automate complex workflows—all while meeting the strict compliance and security requirements of financial services. Manual processes that worked when you had 10advisors break down completely at 50. The technology should work for you, not the other way around.
