How a Leading Wealth Manager Unlocked Over $13M in Annual Value by Replacing Legacy Infrastructure

Legacy Infrastructure

Client Profile: A prominent North American wealth management firm with $90 billion in AUM.

The Challenge: Aging Technology Eroded Trust and Blocked Growth

The firm’s forward momentum was constrained by aging technology. Its inflexible legacy infrastructure could not support strategic objectives and created critical pain points:

  • Eroding Client Trust: Costly billing errors and pricing inconsistencies were frequently found by clients and advisors, creating a reactive and expensive rework cycle.
  • Slow Time-to-Market: The inflexible system made launching new products a slow and costly IT project, causing a competitive disadvantage.
  • Operational Inefficiency: Manual processes and disconnected legacy systems created significant bottlenecks, errors, and high operational costs.
  • Inability to Scale: The firm could not grow without adding significant headcount to manage manual workflows.

The Solution: A Strategic Migration to PureFees 

The firm partnered with PureFacts to strategically replace its core legacy billing application with PureFees. This solution delivered a modern, flexible foundation for growth: 

  • True Straight-Through Processing (STP): PureFees was fully integrated with the firm’s CRM and a new digital onboarding tool, eliminating manual data entry.
  • A Single Source of Truth: The platform became the centralized, fully integrated ecosystem for all revenue data across the enterprise.
  • Enforced Standardization: Standardized fee schedules are now automatically enforced by the system, eliminating inconsistencies.
  • Simplified Operations: Eliminating the legacy application simplified both operations and IT overhead.

The Results: Rapid ROI and a New Strategic Asset

The implementation of PureFees transformed the firm’s revenue management from a manual cost center into a strategic, automated asset. 

  • $12M+ in new annual revenue captured by eliminating systemic revenue leakage.
  • $1.1M+ in annual costs automated away.
  • < 1 Year Payback Period: The project paid for itself in under 12 months based on direct cost savings alone.
  • Rebuilt Trust: Costly billing errors were eliminated, protecting the firm’s reputation with clients and advisors.
