IRESS has announced the latest version of its planning software, XPLAN 2.0, will offer advisers a new-look web interface which supports smart phones and tablet devices.
Andrew Walsh, Managing Director, said the objective of the upgrade was to improve adviser productivity:
“We recognise that there is no single best practice for running advice businesses and we work hard to provide a solution that offers the best outcomes for each dealer group or brand.”
“Flexibility is the key. Efficiency comes by optimising a process, to which software needs to flexibly adapt,” added Mr Walsh.
Mr Walsh said XPLAN 2.0’s design will also allow for the introduction of new features, without the software becoming overly complex.

“We have a strong focus on responding to the functional demands of our clients and we complemented this approach with a leading design and user-experience that puts us at the forefront of future development,” Mr Walsh said.
IRESS employed a global agency that specialises in digital user-experience to assist in the development of XPLAN 2.0.
“We set out rethinking the user interface from the user’s perspective. This enables our clients to focus on what they want to do rather than how to do it,” Mr Walsh said. “The agency was very experienced and worked closely with our product and development teams as we evolved and refined ideas together with client feedback.”
XPLAN 2.0 will be available in April.
