Fully integrated, interactive planning and goal-setting module earns firm its 9th consecutive award

MIAMI BEACH, FL — March 2, 2022 — Atria Wealth Solutions (Atria) announced today that its full-service broker-dealer subsidiaries CUSO Financial Services, L.P. (CFS) and Sorrento Pacific Financial LLC (SPF), have received the 2022 Technology Innovation Award from the Bank Insurance & Securities Association (BISA) for BusinessOptimizer™. This is the ninth consecutive year that CFS/SPF has received this prestigious award, which celebrates the technological advancements of products, services and platforms in the financial services industry. BISA presented the award at its 2022 Annual Convention in Miami Beach, Florida.

BusinessOptimizer™ is a fully integrated, interactive planning and goal-setting module built into Unio™, the fully integrated, award-winning advisor platform. The module performs forensic diagnostics on aggregated data, including invested dollar growth and revenue, then transforms it into clear and immediately actionable business growth campaigns and strategies for financial professionals in credit unions and banks. BusinessOptimizer™ was designed to translate broad member lead generation strategies into a daily engagement plan that uses actual data to provide financial professionals with an easy-to-follow path for growing their businesses.

“I see BusinessOptimizer™ as a digital ‘coach’ that performs the heavy lifting and delivers clear, actionable steps for financial professionals to reach their business goals and develop more meaningful member connections — and it’s all based on real-time data,” said Valorie Seyfert, President of CFS and SPF and past BISA Circle of Excellence Award recipient. “We are honored that BISA has once again recognized our firm as a leader in developing technology solutions that help advisors succeed.”
