The concept of big data is nothing new and it has been discussed in the financial services space for many years, being poured over at conferences as banks and intermediaries alike have grappled with all of the data that they house, how they can monetise it and how they can use it to improve their businesses. But, practically, what does it mean for your financial advice business and how can back office technology help?
Recently we have been out and about doing one of my favourite things; exhibiting at events. The reason it’s one of my favourite things is I always find these events so inspiring and motivating.

Clearly drawing conclusions from the sample size and time frame of 5 days is not something that would ‘stand up in court’, so please view these as preliminary findings.
When it came into force at the end of 2012, the retail distribution review (RDR) became among the biggest changes to ever hit the financial sector and financial advice.
