Advisors need a robust enterprise content management system that moves them toward a paperless office, according to Winterberg, and Laserfiche fits the bill, with document imaging, document management, business process management and records management all baked into its system architecture. "It helps organize large volumes of information that they gather about clients, about their business, employees and compliance," he explains.
