We’ve dug deep into these shifting economics and uncovered how advisers can reduce their overhead to pull ahead of the pack.
Our latest study – The Shifting Economics of Adviser Technology – takes a look at the evolution of free software in wealth management, and covers topics including:
- Why the industry is slow to catch up on the free software model.
- What areas advisers can cut on technology costs without reducing their services.
- Where the new economic model of free software impacts investors’ bottom line.
- How OranjMAX can be used at no-cost, and what free really means.
With year-end reviews underway or soon coming to a close, Oranj recently conducted a webinar to illustrate how OranjMAX can help you make your practice stronger than ever in and serve clients in brand-new ways in 2018. Adam Stolz, Sales Director, covered:
- Three ways advisers can use OranjMAX to unify their practice and provide a differentiating level of service to clients and prospects.
- An overview of OranjMAX and all the features and capabilities advisers can leverage to support their business.
- The free model of financial technology for advisers – free is free – and free doesn’t equal cheap.
