We also went through a long process when we left our previous firm and we’ve had positives and negatives with our Pershing experience so far. Pershing’s technology was much better than what we had before but we’ve been disappointed in their practice management offerings. Mark Tibergien is a great sales man and he talked about all the people dedicated to practice management but’s it’s really just him so I feel they were a bit disingenuous.
