As advisor experience with integrations deepens, the cracks are becoming more and more evident. This presentation will show you how the most successful advisors and firms will overcome these challenges.  > "Many of the companies here want you to believe that open architecture is the answer; that by linking together several technology tools through integrations, you can create business processes that allow you to deliver a better value to your clients, while reducing the time it takes to do so. If there is one thing I have come to believe — both as an advisor who continues to work with clients and as the founder of a software company that serves thousands of you — it’s this: **open architecture is dead.**" As both a practicing financial advisor and the founder of a financial technology company, Joe offers a unique perspective on one of the biggest issues plaguing advisors today: inconsistency of results within the the advisor's tech stack. This presentation takes a closer look at the problem and offers solutions for advisors who don't want to spend hours making the results of their tech tools agree. Additionally, Bob Veres recently named Covisum  a [winner of the T3 2019 Advisor Tech Conference.](https://t3technologyhub.com/winners-and-losers-at-t3s-2019-advisor-tech-conference/)  > "At T3, Elsasser introduced Income InSight, which provides very basic retirement planning for clients, and then integrates this information across Social Security Timing, SmartRisk and Tax Clarity — basically taking the three programs and making them into a fully-integrated planning tool that goes into deep depth in areas where most software only scrapes the surface. This is a different way of thinking about planning, addressing the pain-points directly and at a deeper level than the profession has been able to before." Our new retirement planning platform, [Income InSight®](https://www.covisum.com/income-insight), will help you quickly and easily show the impact of different decisions within a client’s financial plan. The platform resolves conflicts commonly seen between loosely-integrated planning tools and deeply integrates with Covisum’s other tools to provide clients with a clear vision of retirement.  Watch the presentation and learn how Income InSight can help you resolve conflicts in your tech stack and add additional value to your clients.  [![Watch Open Architecture is Dead](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2755909/7598fa56-c262-4e65-8ddb-f4f12f313cfd.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2755909/7598fa56-c262-4e65-8ddb-f4f12f313cfd)   ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.covisum.com%2Fblog%2Fopen-architecture-is-dead-available-on-demand%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.covisum.com%2Fblog%2Fopen-architecture-is-dead-available-on-demand%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.covisum.com%2Fblog%2Fopen-architecture-is-dead-available-on-demand%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.covisum.com%2Fblog%2Fopen-architecture-is-dead-available-on-demand%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=On-Demand%20Video%3A%20Open%20Architecture%20is%20Dead) ## Related Blog Articles [ ### Culture Covisum Honors Three with First-Annual President’s Awards Read ](https://www.covisum.com/blog/covisum-honors-three-with-first-annual-presidents-awards) [ ### Video 7 Steps to Fantastic Financial Planning Seminars: On-Demand Webinar Read ](https://www.covisum.com/blog/7-steps-to-financial-planning-seminar-sucess-on-demand) [ ### In The News PLANADVISOR: Advisers Beware and Be Cautious When Talking Taxes in 2018 Read ](https://www.covisum.com/blog/planadvisor-advisers-beware-and-be-cautious-when-talking-taxes-in-2018) [See All Articles](https://www.covisum.com/blog) ## Covisum’s ecosystem of solutions can help you grow.
