With the increased move toward cloud computing and the increased demand from our clients to have information available, anywhere/anytime, Client Portals are rapidly becoming the solution of choice for those in our industry. Today’s portal solutions offer a secure and reliable way to deliver the information your clients’ want, when they want it. A good portal solution will also help the practitioner in complying with federal and state rules and regulations surrounding client information confidentiality and privacy. Jim will discuss some of the client portal solutions available in the marketplace today.
