When we last heard from Joseph Salpietro, President and CEO of Xpyria Investment Advisors, he was looking forward to implementing Workflow to streamline his Firm’s repetitive work processes. As one of the first Avante customers in the financial services industry, one of the reasons Salpietro chose Avante was because of its built-in business process management (BPM) functionality.
“A lot of people think if you have an office in a metropolitan city that the highest cost to a business is rent, it’s not. It’s the people we employ. So I’d rather have them doing mission-critical, profitable work.”

When you go independent, a lot of advisors think this means giving up the support they’re used to. But soon they realize that they’re part of a larger community, one that’s often centered around the technology they’ve chosen to use.
I just returned from the Laserfiche Institute Conference, where nearly 1,000 customers, resellers and staff gathered together for three days of sessions and hands-on labs. This is my third conference, and again I was struck by the sense of community. People who had never met each other before took the time to share ideas for increasing efficiency and profitability.
