knowIT rebrands Strategy Steps’ Desk Caddie


knowIT Group is relaunching an enhanced version of the Strategy Steps’ Desk Caddie website to deliver more focused solutions for advisers, under the new name wealthdigital.
knowIT Group chief executive, Wayne Wilson, said the redeveloped features on offer would assist with improved efficiency as well as more advanced services integration.
“wealthdigital provides an essential integrated business solution that’s easier for advisers to use, allowing them more time to increase the profitability of their business,” he said.
“The new features will help improve practice efficiency and help achieve compliance with regulatory requirements.”
Wilson said wealthdigital would still be powered by Desk Caddie, which would continue to deliver analysis on legislative changes.
“We implement the improvements that advisers have said they need in order to run efficient and profitable practices,” Wilson said.
“All of these changes are aimed at helping advisers achieve a more profitable practice with better business outcomes.”
