Encore users encouraged to switch to free alternative

Andrew Brown, Managing Director of Orbiter, says: “I echo the views expressed by other market commentators that advisers should inform themselves about the sourcing systems available to them, rather than allowing themselves to be herded toward any particular system. I’m confident that when they do, they’ll recognise Orbiter’s as a unique, forward-thinking proposition, and register with our free service. Just like hundreds of advisers have done so in the last few days alone.”

Robert Kelly, Group IT Director at Orbiter, added: ”We don’t need to offer a free trial, our system is free, full stop. Savings aside, as advisers will have to adapt to a new system, it stands to reason that they’ll want something modern and user-friendly, which they can rely on. Not only are products updated four times a day on our system, but our recent technical developments - such as integrating both direct-to-consumer products and lender affordability calculations - highlight our market leading approach.”
