distribution-technology-and-intelliflo-in-partnership-agreementTwo of the financial service industry’s leading software businesses, Distribution Technology and Intelliflo have today signed a 5 year partnership agreement which will make award winning risk profiling and financial planning software, Dynamic Planner® available to advisers integrated with Intelliflo’s business management tool, Intelligent Office.

From July this year, this new integration will enable advisers and firms using Intelligent Office to access their client information in Dynamic Planner without re-keying, while client data and documents generated during the planning process are pushed back into Intelligent Office to form part of the complete compliance file and client record.

This new integration will save advisers and firms significant amounts of time and reduce the potential risk that comes from re-keying client information, while giving them access to tried and tested, market leading technology.

The integration was first developed last year and has been in use with mutual client SimplyBiz since late 2014.

Ben Goss, Chief Executive at Distribution Technology said; “We are excited about this new proposition and look forward to working with our partners at Intelliflo to support both existing and new client firms. It has become very clear that advisory firms want a combination of tried and tested, award winning software from both our firms. It means that they can benefit from applications which are best-of-breed in their areas without the cost and risk of re-keying.”

Nick Eatock, Executive Chairman at Intelliflo added “We believe that this integration will be warmly welcomed by our mutual clients as a real time and accuracy saving for users of our respective best of breed applications. We are delighted to work with Distribution Technology on this initiative.”
