Financial Planners told Financial Planning Today that one thing platforms do not do well is integrate with other planning tools and CRM systems.

Financial Planners also shared how whilst the Coronavirus pandemic has led to many platforms investing heavily in digital upload and signing technology, some platforms are now far better than others in terms of the experience for Financial Planners being truly electronic.
One Financial Planner also shares an example of the truly horrific customer service his team experienced from one platform since the start of the pandemic.
