Laserfiche Electronic Document Management Solution
Wealth management firm invests in leading edge technology to attract and retain top talent among financial professionals
BRAINTREE, Mass, Feb. 2008 - U.S. Wealth Management LLC, a firm specializing in providing wealth management programs through professional firm affiliates, has taken a leading edge in the industry in choosing the Laserfiche electronic document management solution as part of a Straight Through Processing (STP) system designed to streamline operations, reduce expenses and increase profitability for the firm and its professionals.
John P. Napolitano, CFP®, PFS, MST, CEO of U.S. Wealth Management, said this state-of-the-art technology positions US Wealth Management as a leader among the smaller to mid-sized wealth management broker dealers: immediate benefits to affiliates include a secure platform, conversion from paper to electronics, electronic signatures, and greater ease with which to transact business.
"At U.S. Wealth Management, we are investing in best-of-breed technology provided by industry-leading companies like Laserfiche in order to attract and retain top talent and equip them with the tools necessary for success in today's marketplace," Napolitano said. U.S. Wealth Management has approximately 46 registered representative affiliates and is undergoing expansion, Napolitano said.
The Laserfiche component of U.S. Wealth Management's STP program involves the conversion of most of the firm's and its affiliates' paper files into secure electronic documents with robust search and retrieve functions. Going forward, U.S. Wealth Management affiliates will also have the ability to directly enter electronic documents with electronic signatures provided by LaserApp, a partner of Laserfiche, as well as integrate its documents with a new contact management system.
Chris Wacker, Senior Vice President for Business Development at Laserfiche, said the STP program at U.S. Wealth Management is an example of an emerging trend in the financial services industry.
"U.S. Wealth Management is one of the first of the smaller, independent broker-dealer firms to make this financial commitment and recognize the huge benefits of an STP program that melds electronic signatures, contact management and electronic document management," Wacker said.
Laserfiche provides electronic document management services to more than 25,000 customers in multiple industries worldwide, including several hundred broker-dealer firms and several thousand registered representatives in the United States.
