At SIBOS 2009 Hong Kong, Figlo releases its first financial planning application on Microsoft Surface based on the global Hawanedo software product line, creating a new breakthrough in interactive financial communication and advice between advisor and consumer. With Microsoft Surface, the financial industry today has new possibilities in communicating personal financial situations, advice and solutions in a more intuitive and engaging way.
Microsoft Surface is an innovative computing platform that responds to touch, natural hand gestures and real-world objects placed on the display, providing effortless interaction with information and digital content in a simple and intuitive way. With a large, 360-degree, horizontal user interface, Microsoft Surface offers a unique gathering place where multiple users can collaboratively and simultaneously interact with content and each other.
With Hawanedo on Microsoft Surface, both the client and the advisor can interact with the client’s financial situation. The financial cards on the Surface table are easy to understand and they show the current financial situation based on what the client has. The Figlo Financial Cards, which are supported by Microsoft CardSpace, display a logical presentation of stored calculated or communicated user data. The data is provided by the Hawanedo personal internet account.
Hawanedo on Microsoft Surface improves the relationship between the client and the advisor by working together on the table, fulfilling client wishes, and creating needs and financial solutions in a way the client fully understands.
With Hawanedo on Microsoft Surface, Figlo offers a revolutionary manner of communicating in a new financial world where transparent and understandable products are leading.
