Take the Complexity out of HazCom Compliance

Oct. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VelocityEHS, the leading cloud environment, health, safety (EHS) and sustainability software provider, has been selected to speak among an elite group of industry professionals at the 2016 National Safety Council (NSC) Congress & Expo in Anaheim, California on Wednesday, October 19. VelocityEHS president and CEO Glenn Trout and vice president of sales Chuck Haling will discuss why employers are still out of compliance with even the most basic requirements of OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) and provide tips to stay on track with the recently modified rule.

While OSHA’s final compliance deadline for its adoption of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) passed in June 2016, many employers are still working toward transitioning their workplaces to comply with the GHS-aligned HazCom Standard. Part of employer transition struggles relate to chemical manufacturer and distributor adoption delays, as well as selective OSHA enforcement policies, which have created further confusion throughout the supply chain.

AS ADVISORS SCRAMBLE TO GET IN COMPLIANCE WITH FIDUCIARY RULE, PURCHASES OF NEW TECH TOOLS WERE LEADING THE PACK

While fall 2016, according to the calendar, is technically just beginning, the industry’s busy fall conference season has already been in full swing for a couple of months now, revealing the latest technology advisors will need to acquire in order to thrive in the rapidly changing wealth management environment.

Key themes on full display at the many industry and technology events included the new workflow, compliance and document management systems that will be needed to comply with the Department of Labor’s new best interest rule, along with new integrated wealth platforms that bring together CRM, financial planning, risk analysis, portfolio management, performance reporting and white-label robo services in one integrated application.

The new DOL rule has turned everyone into technology shoppers,” said Steve Dunlap, President of Folio Dynamix, at his mid-September conference in San Antonio.

New Integrations Increase Advisor Productivity
Folio Dynamix announced several integration deals with popular advisor software packages, including MoneyGuidePro for financial planning, Risk Pro for risk analysis, Quovo for account aggregation and Scivantage for robo services.  Known as the “Fiborg Constellation,” this combination of systems will be integrated into the Folio Dynamix portfolio accounting, performance reporting and rebalancing platform to provide an end-to-end solution for advisors to better manage client relationships and minimize manual processes.

Fintech Is Exploding, but How Firms Use New Integrations Is Key
EMONEY CEO ED O'BRIEN SAYS ‘PLANNING-LED ADVICE’ IS THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

Fintech providers need to find a balance between what's new and what works, eMoney Advisor's new CEO Ed O'Brien said at the eMoney Advisor Summit on Wednesday.
“Innovation is great” when it's fast, he said, “but it has to be precise and accurate” to help advisors remain compliant in such a highly regulated industry.

P&C Insurance Industry:
Partnering Into the Future

Reaching all-time heights in 2015, the global financial
technology movement has finally made its way to
insurance. Marching on nimble feet, these new insuretech
startups are offering more accessible and customized
insurance solutions, overcoming traditional obstacles that
have kept the industry sheltered for generations. Holding
ground against the new entrants will require property and
casualty insurers to redesign the customer experience,
using technology to establish greater trust and make
it easier for consumers to obtain pricing and purchase
coverage.

Considering the alterations in customer expectations, lifestyles and preferences, the industry is ripe for change. For existing insurers, producing the product-rich, customer-centric environment necessary to compete with new entrants requires some fancy footwork. Developing the products consumers want against a rigid and yet always-evolving regulatory environment, as well as fixed ideas on how the industry operates, has slowed the progress of most insurers and emphasizes why new technologically-inclined startups are witnessing headwinds. Unencumbered by historical precedents, they are reacting to customer demands in new ways, customizing coverage as well as pricing to gain customer confidence and wallet share:

While the march of the new entrants may look like an advancement of heavy artillery, the truth is,
they stand on the same troubled ground as incumbent insurers. Consumer preferences and needs
are changing rapidly, and even for new entrants, what fits customers today may be obsolete in the
near future. This is where established players and emerging-but-recognized technology leaders can easily come together, joining forces to create agile products and services that meet customer needs into the future.

As established insurers take stock of current business models and product offerings to respond to
the rise of customer preferences and demands, they can make determinations about their strengths and weaknesses. Then, by leveraging their industry know-how and historical insights, they can partner with the tech savvy-innovation of the new entrant to more easily navigate the changing road ahead. A primary example is in the area of digital distribution.

New entrants to the insurance space own the technological prowess that insurers require to deliver
loyalty-inspiring service across changing demographics. One new entrant has been quietly gaining
market share by partnering with insurers to deliver not only the direct-to-consumer capabilities that
incumbents need, but a platform also rich in the analytics insights, cross-channel functionality and
product choice necessary to engage and retain customers in today’s environment. It’s proof that
with the right digital distribution platform incumbents can not only survive, but thrive in the more
customer-focused insurance market of today.

A rapidly changing environment calls for extraordinary measures. Learn how leading insurers are
creating a more customer-centered environment by downloading our thought leadership piece,

Anfang:  "“We’ve been punching under our weight class for a while now,” said Dunlap, the former Cetera, Pershing and Lockwood executive, as he reflected on his first nine months in the lead role at Secaucus, N.J.-based FolioDynamix."

After being acquired by Actua Corp. a couple of years ago, FolioDynamix is "seeing growing momentum with over $700 billion in total assets on its platform, from three million client accounts, $20.5 billion of those assets are in its advisory services along with $5.1 billion in overlay AUM. This represents a 22% growth in AUM, year over year," he added.

Allerdings habe ich auch in vorstehenden Postings öfter über Reibungsverluste bei der Übernahme berichtet, die dazu führten, dass das hohe Wachstum vor der Übernahme nicht gehalten wurde und fast völlig abflachte. Wie ich auch bereichtete, spielte dabei der Absprung eines wichtigen Kunden eine bedeutende Rolle.

“The future is not about robots or robo advisors replacing human advisors. It is about taking advantage of technology to work efficiently. One of the benefits the industry is seeing is that the early robos were a free beta test to show that technology and automation are being accepted by clients and can play a big role in helping advisors increase capacity and better serve their clients.”

like that powered by the Bolt Platform, can transform the customer experience and empower agents to meet all of their customers’ needs

October 13th, 2016

A Day in the Life: Product-Rich Digital Distribution Saves the Day (Part 2)
This is the second blog post in a series (see Part 1) that was originally published by Actua company, Bolt Solutions.  This post demonstrates how a product-rich digital distribution platform, like that powered by the Bolt Platform, can transform the customer experience and empower agents to meet all of their customers’ needs:

Last week, we followed exclusive insurance agent Todd as he stumbled through the day without the digital tools he needs to compete in today’s P&C market. Today, we’ve decided to check back in with him again, to see how his performance is improving now that his company has adopted a new digital distribution platform.

www.actua.com/...t-rich-digital-distribution-saves-day-part-2/

That’s where Todd’s new digital distribution platform wins star accolades. Of course, customers notice the pain-free quoting experience, but what really turns heads is how effortlessly Todd fulfills all of their insurance needs. Just last week a customer called him. He’d just bought a boat. To make things fair, his wife got a dog. He wanted to insure both, adding the coverage to his existing portfolio of auto and home policies. In days gone by, Todd would have had to turn him away, possibly even losing the auto and home coverage as well when the customer met with a savvy newcomer capable of delivering it all.

Now, Todd can compete with any digital-savvy new market entrant and incumbent alike by bundling his products with those from other carriers, without taking on additional risk. It all happens courtesy of his digital distribution platform that comes with a vast market network, allowing Todd to meet more of his customer’s needs more of the time.

Now everyone is happy. Todd’s customers are continuing in a trusted relationship, and his company is on track to improve revenue by 24% over the next 5 years. Todd can see how it’s true when using a digital distribution platform with a vast market network. After all, he’s selling 1.4 more of the company’s products for every bundled solution sold.

These are the kind of results that every exclusive agent needs to survive today and exemplify how the Bolt Platform is empowering next level agent performance.

Tune in next week to see how insurers are approaching the current market as we explore a day in the life of two carriers.

“Given the many trends impacting the industry, advisors need to meld together technology with their personal, human approach into a ‘Cybernetic financial advisor’ model,” Dunlap said, bringing up images of Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Man from the popular 1970’s TV action series. “To solve for these problems we are coining the phrase, ‘fiborg’ and our new platform is the ‘fiborg Constellation’ that brings all of the components of technology needed to succeed in the new wealth management era.”’
