"Oranj is a single platform to streamline portfolio management and client service. Oranj provides financial advisors with portfolio management, rebalancing and trading, client/prospect management and a client portal to power their practice and elevate client service. Our software is designed to make complex tasks easy without losing the sophistication advisors need to deliver better outcomes and a world-class experience for their clients. The Oranj model marketplace provides single place for advisors to build investment solutions and utilize pre-built solutions from some of the industries leading investment managers. With Oranj, financial advisors spend less time managing and more time advising their clients."

"Advisors need to consolidate, communicate and customize. Creating the optimal digital client experience involves aggregating client data, communicating the value and usefulness of that information to the client, and making sure the delivery of that information is done in a way that suits the client’s needs and preferences. Taking these steps can close the digital divide."

"Advisors are missing an opportunity to appear at the fingertips of their clients and potential new clients. With 93% of individuals indicating they are engaged with social media at least weekly, it is surprising to see that only 25% of advisors said they interact with their clients via social media, 14% with webinars or recorded videos, and 12% with blog posts. Many advisors think that their 55-64 year-old clients are not using Internet for financial things – or not using the Internet much at all. But research in the initial Digital DNA report shows that the demographic spends on average more than five hours per day online."
