About us
Instead was developed out of 22 years of experience in the financial services sector. Identifying gaps left by existing systems, we set out to develop a solution that would eliminate the need for multiple systems and duplicate data entry. We needed to bridge the information gap between clients, financial planners, dealer groups, accountants and auditors. We wanted a system that would provide a paperless environment, have all parties viewing the same data and be easily accessible.

Instead is an integrated system that broadens the meaning of the financial service sector. As the ultimate information hub, it can be used to connect all service professionals, or can be used by a single professional. Its modular approach allows you to tailor Instead to your requirements.

Data entry and document storage are a once only event. Using permissions for client and advisers, Instead can achieve things previously unthinkable. Instead not only has a client up approach but also incorporates business issues from revenue management through to compliance.

Our main aim is to provide a system that will help you create stronger client relationships, increase productivity and reduce costs.

INSTEAD - KEEPING EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE
INSTEAD is architected on a simple principle of enabling clients to connect their expertise through a central information technology hub. Even when data is captured from a variety of sources, it is scrubbed and reconciled to ensure integrity, and made available to users in the format that meets their unique needs. This ensures that information extracted from Instead is accurate and consistent at all times to all parties servicing the client (eg. planner, accountant, auditor, stock broker and the client themselves). What's more, using the INSTEAD permission-based function, our alliance partners can easily control which documents and reports are viewed by which party.
