For the past several decades, platforms for advisors have differentiated with the quality of their technology. The focus on ‘tech’ was a natural evolution for advisor platforms away from their roots – which was originally to differentiate by the quality of their proprietary product shelf, the primary means that brokerage firms and insurance companies attracted advisors to them in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

Depositors heaved a sigh of relief when news broke Sunday that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was going to make whole all of the accounts held at Silicon Valley Bank. Having full access to bank accounts meant those tech start-ups that make up much of SVB’s depositors would be able to make their weekly payrolls. They were the lucky ones: SVB’s equity investors were wiped out and senior bank management was fired.

Over the past few decades, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have become indispensable tools for modern companies. An ERP solution such as SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Public Edition ensures that a company's financial and operational data are stored in a centralized database and that employees have the data they need to make informed decisions. Because teams across departments can access the exact numbers, it reduces the likelihood of errors and inconsistencies.
