Microsoft invests in financial planners

Microsoft has created a Web services software package to make it easier for financial advisers to access customers' information.
Microsoft Advisor Platform lets investment planners and wealth managers use a service-oriented architecture to integrate back-office proprietary software systems and render the information through one portal.
The package is part of Microsoft's goal to improve the way financial advisers serve their customers, as the portfolios of wealth-management clients become increasingly sophisticated, the Redmond, Wash., company said in a statement.
