today the release of version 9.55 of its popular Broker's Ally software to include
a broader range of client relationship management and practice management features

In addition, Scherrer has enhanced its evolutionary Web Ally xRM™ option, the newest
"software as a service" (SaaS) technology available as a utility to customers. Web

from implementing Web Ally for investment advisors, sales assistants and sales managers
include: lower cost of technology management, global team collaboration, increase
assets under management (AUM), centralized document management, compliance regulations
and easy cross-selling tools for opening more accounts.
Broker's Ally v9.55 is a PC software application for PC or firm-wide installation.
Broker's Ally v9.55 retains the popular features of its previous version 8.0, which
was first created in 1984 and subsequently became the most frequently used client
management tool for retail brokers. The new v9.0 series includes over 120 new features
with focus on practice management and client and prospect profiling. The Broker's
Ally v9.0 product includes 3 levels or tiers to help advisors grow their business
including level 1 for contact management, level 2 for marketing management and level
3 for portfolio reporting and asset allocation.
States Mark Gardner, Managing Director, Bear Stearns, Dallas, Private Client
Services Group: "I've installed the new Broker's Ally version 9 and it's bigger
and a lot easier to read. I really appreciated all the help and support! This will
make my business more efficient and productive."
Michael Grinnel, Senior Investment Advisor, Raymond James, Stuart, FL.: "My life
is wrapped around Broker's Ally version 9. I was very pleased that the Quick Start
Guide that came with the upgrade helped the installation go flawlessly, it worked
like a charm. I have a boat in the Mediterranean that I go to each year; without
Broker's Ally I would never be able to go. I LOVE BROKER'S ALLY!"
Says John Kimber, Financial Advisor since 1979: "Broker's Ally version 9 starts and
ends my day. Clients hear from me when they should, I avoid contradictions, I get
compliments for reliability, and people are impressed by my amazing recall from
1994 (when I first started using Broker's Ally). The capital value of our business
entity has been vastly improved because Broker's Ally fosters consistent business
processes. And, it has helped me to dodge the bullets when the inevitable firm mergers
occur."
