6 Reasons to Choose BetaNXT’s New Self-Service Client Letters Solution

Written by BetaNXT | April 29, 2024

In the realm of wealth management, client letters are pivotal. Items such as welcome letters, account change, and other regulatory notices are more than informational—they connect firms with their clients, embodying the firm's attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction.

The challenge lies in personalizing the many types of client letters while also ensuring they are compliant and aligned with the brand’s ethos. This task becomes increasingly daunting with the need for frequent updates and oversight.

“Frustrating for those with responsibility for client letters, changes can be surprisingly slow,” notes Ernie Carducci, BetaNXT Head of Client Communications. “With an inefficient solution, even small content changes can result in time-consuming and costly development, change management, and production processes,” he adds.

Unpacking the Challenges

The intricacies of managing client letters come with their own set of challenges, often amplifying the difficulty of maintaining an efficient, responsive, and compliant letters strategy. They include:

  • High costs: The process of making changes involves numerous stakeholders and processes, ramping up labor, technology, and opportunity costs.
  • Rigidity of systems: Traditional high-volume composition systems, designed with batch print standards in mind, often lack the flexibility needed for swift updates.
  • Dependency on third parties: Reliance on IT departments or external vendors for content updates introduces bottlenecks, delaying critical communications.
  • Time constraints: The sluggish pace of implementing changes can jeopardize regulatory compliance and the organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts.
  • Inadequate process management: A lack of holistic content oversight, standardization tools, and common governance models hampers efficient content authoring and management.
  • Risk of errors: Complex and multifaceted processes increase the likelihood of errors, leading to potential reputational, legal, or regulatory repercussions.
