The PlanPlus Lunchtime Learning Series

The PlanPlus Lunchtime Learning Series is a new webcast series designed specifically for our Web Advisor users. The Lunchtime Learning Series began on Wednesday, February 14th. It consists of bi-weekly webcast presentations running approximately 15 minutes in length from 12:00-12:15 p.m. EST, wrapping up with a question and answer period.

Upon completion of the webcast, a short questionnaire will be sent to all participants who will then return the questionnaire for a chance to win a $10 Subway sandwich gift certificate. A winner will be drawn on the Friday following the Webcast.

Our winners to date have been:

  • Feb. 14th - Francois Lalonde of Planificateur Financier
  • Feb. 28th - Louvie Ronse of Canaccord Capital
  • March 14th - Cameron Hutt of Canaccord Capital
  • March 28th - Todd Munroe of FOCUSfirst Financial

Each webcast will focus on one specific aspect of PlanPlus Web Advisor. If there is a topic which you would like us to review, please contact us at info@planplus.com. To review a list of scheduled topics and dates, please click on the following link.



PlanPlus Web Advisor

Version 4.11

PlanPlus Inc. Web Advisor v. 4.11 has now been released and is in production with all users. Several new features include:

  • Detailed Cash Flow
  • New Asset Classes
  • Custom Balanced Products
  • "Efficient Frontier" calculator
  • ADP Dataphile Integration

For more information please click 4.11 Features

Version 4.12

Web Advisor v. 4.12 is scheduled for release later this month. The key feature of this release is a new "Integrated Financial Plan" document that extends the capability of Web Advisor for CFP advisors and others providing integrated planning as defined by the Financial Planning Standards Council. While the Integrated Financial Plan document contains content similar to the Personal Financial Strategy, its key differences are that it incorporates Estate Planning components as well as a Critical Illness and Long Term Care analysis. The plan is also presented from an integrated perspective. Click the link below for a sample of this new Integrated Financial Plan.



Inside PlanPlus

PlanPlus Inc. PlanPlus is pleased to announce another innovative first in our ongoing commitment to work with our corporate customers to encourage increased adoption and use of PlanPlus Web Advisor. Effective mid-April Bob Littleton, a CFP who has been working on the PlanPlus support and sales desk for several years, will be taking on the role of "Financial Planning Application Specialist".

Bob will be focused on the Ontario Region at this time. He will be scheduling trips to cities and major towns in Ontario where he can arrange branch visits and presentations to groups of advisors (at least 3 or more). Presentations will demonstrate to advisors, in their environment, the ease of use of Web Advisor in generating investment, risk management and financial plans.

Bob will also schedule small group Webex presentations where advisors are not available for actual branch visits.

If you are interested in setting up a group presentation please contact bob@planplus.com.

PlanPlus User Satisfaction Survey

Ahsan Rashid

Congratulations to Ahsan Rashid as the Winner of our iPod Nano Draw. Ahsan was one of many advisors to complete our PlanPlus User Satisfaction Survey. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate in this survey. We appreciate your feedback and take your comments seriously. The information you provided will assist us in maintaining and improving our services to you.

The PlanPlus Web Advisor Fall User Satisfaction Survey results are now in. The survey was completed by 49.8% of Web Advisor users from 8 of our corporate firms and independent ASP users.

One reason for the increasing levels of satisfaction is the improved server uptime. From January to March 2007 the Web Advisor servers were available 99.9% of the time during normal business hours in Canada - between the hours of 8am to 8pm EST Monday to Friday.
