The application can be linked to external data sources, supports single sign on and the look and feel can be adjusted to provide a seamless experience for the user.
OPAL Planning is also available as a high speed REST API, which enables organizations to implement the capabilities directly into existing platforms or client-facing web applications, e.g. to support robo-advice client journeys, hybrid advisor experience or other technology platforms such as CRM, Portfolio Management or Financial Planning software.
