Clime, an ASX listed funds management business, acquired Madison and MTIS, both retail advice businesses. After years of operations and leadership changes, their legacy technology had become an issue, prompting them to engage Vollardian for a thorough assessment of their technology architecture to streamline operations. Vollardian assessed Clime's technology, designed a simpler architecture, and managed the transition of MTIS into Clime's wholesale advice business, CPW. The project included CRM optimisation, data migration, and new system implementations.
