An Integrated Advisor Desktop solves this problem. Last week we discussed how application or UI integration, when done properly, can dramatically improve the productivity of your advisors, but that isn't enough, you also need data integration.

It can become expensive to maintain, difficult to upgrade, or so obsolete it risks pulling the company behind the competition.
