Vision HomeOffice is used by more than 3,000 broker-dealer and trust companies, and nearly 400 product companies, including mutual funds, variable annuities, and REITs, participate in DST’s Vision HomeOffice and Vision platforms.
According to Kelle Hennier, director of Home Office relations for DST Systems, the new functionality will allow product companies to better allocate their resources and utilize sales and marketing dollars more effectively.
Hennier said: "The industry has spent an inordinate amount of time manually attempting to synchronize broker-dealer, branch, and advisor movements for years. It’s an error-prone process that often results in inaccurate data. We’re confident Vision HomeOffice’s new features will dramatically improve the integrity of advisor data across the industry."
Already the most widely used web-based account aggregation source for financial intermediaries, DST has enhanced the Vision HomeOffice solution to deliver even further improved operational efficiencies for dealer, branch, and representative management.
