At Linktank, our comprehensive research and hands-on experience have unveiled a striking reality: most financial advisory practices in South Africa grapple with fragmented technology models. This fragmentation often results from attempts to meet the complex demands of growing client bases, managing relationships, and adhering to stringent regulations.
The Challenge of Disparate Data
Advisors typically use multiple software applications that unfortunately do not integrate with each other, leading to duplicated efforts and scattered data sets. This situation is exacerbated by additional external data sources, creating a tangled web of information that is difficult to manage and interpret.
The Power of Integration
In a landscape where seamless integration between applications is a rarity, advisory teams find themselves buried under the manual labor of data management. The time spent on inputting, collating, and cleansing data could be redirected towards more valuable activities, such as client engagement and strategic planning.
A Glimpse into the Future: Business Intelligence Tools
Despite these challenges, there is a silver lining. New technologies and business intelligence (BI) tools offer promising solutions to overcome these hurdles. By consolidating data from various sources into cohesive dashboards, practices can achieve a unified view of their operations, clients, and financials.
