moneyinfo podcast: AdviserTech Unplugged
Our podcast is designed to help address the challenges of the 21 st century adviser. In each episode, we invite a special guest to talk to us about current topics affecting their area of expertise in the AdviserTech space.
In the next episode of AdviserTech Unplugged, moneyinfo's Head of Marketing, Oliver Jenkins speaks with Peter Calvert, CTO of the Verve Group .
Episode 11: Becoming a tech company in the finance world
Peter and Oliver discuss how Verve Group has grown from an outsourced paraplanning service to a fully-fledged tech company. They chat about how Peter is helping with the transition for Verve from a financial services firm offering tech solutions, to a tech company offering financial services solutions.
Peter talks about his experiences of working in the retail and B2C space, and how he's rapidly scaling a technology team around him to help deliver more efficient data-driven technology services for Verve Group clients and members which have the client at the heart of the service.

" You learn something new every day "...or at least you can every month with our new "Did you know" feature!

Client Profile Page
The Client Profile Page is a newly released feature that allows an operator to access important client information on one page in MIM. It allows an operator to view messages, contact details, relationships, and other important information.
Download the How to Guide here .
The Profile Page allows you to perform key actions more efficiently, such as:
- Uploading Documents
- Sending Messages
- Viewing a clients’ Net Worth Pod and Portfolio Breakdown
The Client Profile Page is also available on the MIM Mobile App, and all the above features are available on the App for operators. Not only that, but we have also released the ability for operators to contact their clients via their mobile device through the profile page. This gives you the ability to call your client directly from the App. See below:
Call Function
Select your client and click on Profile mobile device
Select number and make a call from your mobile device
Links to Maps and Addresses
You can now click on a specific address from the Profile Page, and it will link into Google Maps. See Below:
Click on the address line and the map will open in Google Maps:
These enhanced features will make client interaction and communications much more efficient and convenient for operators, whether they are at their desk or out visiting clients.
If you’ve not told your advisers about the Profile page – don’t delay as we think this will be really valuation for client/adviser interactions.
For more information on the Profile page, please contact our Support Team on 03303 600 300 or at support@moneyinfo.com
