Optimized for mobile and tablet devices, Discover can be embedded on any website to drive leads, collect data, provide analytics and produce custom materials. Advisors can write their own questions to address the exact topics they wish to cover, or they can select from the suggested questions included in the app; response options include drop-down menus, sliders and open-text boxes. With this information, advisors can use Discover to easily provide a free overview of the prospect's financial situation, providing a compelling introduction to their services even before the initial meeting.

"Our team explored a number of interactive marketing solutions for our prospective clients." said Dave Barton, President and CEO of Mercer Advisors. "The Discover app is the first solution we have found that combines the required interaction with ideal levels of simplicity, clarity, and ease of use."

Through integrations with AdvisoryWorld and account aggregation providers, Discover provides both prospects and advisors with in-depth HoldingScan details and custom scorecards to gauge how well a prospect would fit with an advisor, and vice-versa. It also allows advisory firms to measure and track leads, syncing all of their newly captured lead data seamlessly into Salesforce.

"With the Discover app, Orion is delivering the type of innovative, flexible and customizable technology that helps advisors successfully connect with their prospects," said Eric Clarke, Orion President and Founder. "This is especially significant for connecting with next-generation investors, who are tech-savvy and want to be involved in the decision-making process. Advisors have responded enthusiastically to Discover because it provides them with everything they need to create their own call to action and then follow up with a unique value-added introduction."
