@Joel ; if the advisor was using BlackDiamond, Orion or Tamarac, the entire system could have integrated into Salesforce Financial Services Cloud within 24hrs with AppCrown, [we don't need to always sell our overlay], just the integration is fine, save that RIA 40hrs, and be turnkey with 0 minutes spared.
