The company turned to Salesforce Financial Services Cloud to make it easy for advisors to access wealth information for the client, household and extended relationship network in one place. In addition, they needed a platform to easily integrate with wealth management technology partners across accounting, portfolio management and more, to ensure their advisors could provide more personalized client services. <br \/> <br \/>\u201cWe are laser-focused on enriching the lives of our clients and families, and understanding their needs and desires is paramount,\u201d said Trevor Chuna, Vice President, Wealth Planning &amp; Operations, Sequoia Financial Group. \u201cWith Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, we are able to deliver more personalized services and make more informed decisions, increasing the productivity of our team and helping clients in their effort to achieve their financial goals.\u201d<br \/> <br \/>Financial Services Cloud allows Sequoia Financial Group to easily map relationship networks, making it easier than ever to manage multiple clients and households across private, institutional and corporate customers.
