Majority of systems are real time for all end users as well as clients who choose to do so. Better feed back and notification on updates would be helpful.

Artisan was evaluated but seen as a more costly system with too much customization needed. Broadridge Client Information Management is ready to use and the build out is less of a necessity. Artisan is available to those who would like more of a work in progress. We did also review XTIVA but it was cumbersome when bringing in outside, direct data.

Incentivized
