From integrating functionality and streamlining workflows to reimagining client engagement and delivering insights that matter, here’s a look at the standout posts that sparked discussions in 2025.

  • From Platform to Powerhouse | Introducing SS&C Black Diamond Wealth Solutions

    By Steve Leivent

    August marked a significant milestone for Black Diamond with the launch of SS&C Black Diamond Wealth Solutions, a unified brand that brings together SS&C’s wealth management capabilities into a cohesive ecosystem.

    This blog explores the strategic shift from a standalone platform to an integrated wealth solutions powerhouse, designed to support RIAs, trust companies, and family offices as they scale. Readers were drawn to learn how Black Diamond, Innovest, Salentica, and complementary SS&C offerings now work together under the Black Diamond umbrella to reduce fragmentation, streamline operations, and create a more connected advisor-client experience.

  • Reimagining Client Engagement

    By Leslie Martin

    Client experience remained a top priority in 2025, and this blog resonated with wealth managers seeking to move beyond traditional, report-driven interactions.

    Leslie Martin explored how modern client engagement shifts toward ongoing, personalized, and collaborative experiences. The post highlighted how wealth managers can use digital tools to create more meaningful touchpoints, meet clients where they are, communicate in real time, and deliver relevant information.

  • Trust Technology Without the Silos

    By Ryan Alexis

    As trust and wealth management continue to converge, this blog addresses the challenge of disconnected systems and fragmented data.

    Ryan Alexis examined how siloed technology creates inefficiencies, limits visibility, and increases risk, particularly for trust companies and complex wealth structures. The post emphasized the importance of integrated technology that supports fiduciary responsibilities, delivers a unified view of client data, and enables teams to operate with greater consistency and control.
