IRESS to acquire Innergi
Major financial planning software provider, IRESS has further strengthened its market influence by agreeing to acquire personal finance content provider Innergi.
The acquisition, to be completed by 1 July, will see the integration of Innergi's content and IRESS' wealth management solutions.
"There has been a significant increase in demand from advisers for new ways to engage with their clients, particularly digitally. Tools such as those provided by Innergi allow advisers to engage meaningfully with clients face-to-face and online," IRESS managing director for wealth management, Australia and New Zealand, Tizzy Vigilante, said.
"Areas such as scaled and guided advice are also growing and provide further opportunities for use of this content. We are excited about this opportunity to combine XPLAN and Innergi's content to further strengthen our offer to clients."
