THE BACKGROUND
Delivering Value Through Innovation
Aligned Capital Partners Inc. (ACPI), a CI Financial company and a pioneer in the investment dealer community in Canada, is deeply committed to innovation and providing value to its advisors and clients through robust, secure, and well-integrated technology.
Aligned remains focused on providing its advisors with a premier suite of resources, tools, and service offerings to stay ahead of the ever-changing industry and compliance landscape.
THE INITIAL CHALLENGE
Transitioning From Paper to Digital
To improve their technology infrastructure and offerings, Aligned Capital Partners was in search of a solution to streamline document management processes for more than 220 independent advisors and their clients. The initial goal was to transform advisors' practices by moving from paper to digital, making it easier to manage, organize, and maintain all enterprise, advisor, and client documents while also reducing and eliminating any fees related to paper.
THE SOLUTION
Automating Document-Driven Processes
FutureVault’s innovative Digital Vault offering provided Aligned Capital Partners' head office, advisors, and clients with one central repository for all documents, being accessible from secure access points anytime, anywhere.
By leveraging our paper archive digitization solution, advisors’ paper records were collected, scanned, then uploaded to a secure Digital Vault, customized to follow the exact structure and taxonomy for business requirements and overall workflow needs.
Our unique DocuSign integration streamlined the onboarding process for new clients by automatically creating new client Vaults and depositing documents, saving advisors significant time and money while making for a seamless client experience.
