How to implement a short and long-term tech strategy

Enhance and automate your current process and tech stack 

RIAs often reach capacity limits at about 80 households.  The Pareto Principle means that 80% of RIA AUM comes from only 20% of their clients.  The best way to grow is by using technology to automate parts of your existing process to unlock much needed capacity, while still delivering a competitively differentiated service model.  Find out how other firms are building for hyper-growth.
