ForbesThe 2023 Family Office Software RoundupBy

Over the last two years, we have become more reliable than ever before on technology to run our business operations and organise our daily lives.

This increased reliance has raised also expectations of what solutions can- and should be able to do. To amplify this, the next generation (yep, THEM that everyone in the family office industry has been talking about for years) has started stepping into their family offices, and it’s these next-gen owners and employees that want to up their game and have answers on-demand and at their fingertips.

The big question though is whether tech has kept up with the expectations. The short answer? Kind of. Let’s unpack why that is.

  • Users’ expectations are created by day-to-day experiences delivered by large tech companies.
  • Yet, small startups and scale-ups focussed on family offices don’t have the capacity to keep up with this idealistic notion of “what could be” and instead, need to focus on core features
  • Overall most family office tech vendors are ambitious with good intentions but can sometimes be lacking in talent, track record and experience or even willing customers that can partner with them to raise the game.

All is not lost, however. Through strong client partnerships, it is possible for tech vendors to leverage their client relationships to fuel their development and fund their roadmap while delivering a great and valuable solution to a customer. But to make for smooth partnerships, there is a lot of expectation management needed from tech providers. Most family offices have never had to buy solutions and because of that, so they rely on the vendor to lead and provide relevant information about what their product can and can’t do.

In order for the buy and the sell side to understand what’s possible (and more importantly, what’s not), it’s crucial to start with a clear overview. Family office technology can be defined into three broad categories, roughly related to the tasks family offices need to be done, and all solutions fall into one or more of these:

  • Data, Aggregation & Consolidation - connecting to various data sources, custodians and other solutions.
  • Management, Collaboration & Operational - Making investments, running day-to-day operations, collaborating and getting actual work done.
  • Reporting & Insights - Answering questions, measuring performance and gaining insights.

Most solutions choose to carve out their niche by providing their own unique take on what a product should look like and that could create confusion or solutions that are difficult to compare to others. Rather than a unique value proposition, this could actually have to opposite effect on potential customers, not knowing what box to place a solution in.

In particular, there are three interesting industry movements that have become more pronounced over the last year:

  • Large players continue to grow: Even though there have been “old school or legacy” tech players active since the 70s and 80s with several thousand employees, we now see even new-breed companies nearing 1000 employees after a decade in operation.
  • Last-movers emerging: As a counter to the idea of first-movers, last-movers are able to enter a market once there’s a clearer idea of best practices, customer needs and market opportunities.
  • Consolidation play and eco-system investing: Several smaller tech companies have been merged or acquired but this activity also extends beyond the actual tech platforms with service companies seeing serious growth investments from PE funds.

All in all, these speak of an industry that’s still in high-growth mode. In Simple’s latest family office software and technology review, it’s easy to see the trajectory of this landscape. One where service providers are responding to the needs of family offices, but in some cases are even helping them identify their needs.

As within other spheres of the family office space, there are a number of niche products revolutionising specific operations, such as providers specialising in ESG data, cryptocurrency management and even real estate asset management, as covered previously.

This year the following providers stood out within the core functions of family office software products - Consolidaiton & Aggregation, Day-to-day Management, Reporting. Even though they’re grouped in specific regions, many providers have a multi-region coverage.
