It is no secret that family office operations are changing. To stay relevant, family offices must evolve—and they need technology that can support them in this evolution. Specifically, offices need a platform based on a single source of data, and they need a data model that uniquely accommodates the complexity of the family’s “world.” It is only with the right technology platform and infrastructure that family offices can reach their full potential and contribute the highest level of service to their families.
The onset of remote work and other needs in the family office space have accelerated the pace of growth and change. As a result, family offices are increasingly turning to technology to manage complexity, meet family expectations, and grow their wealth. Amid this change, three trends—including owning your data—will help in the selection of the right digital solutions and enable families to flourish now and into the future.
With the pace of change accelerating in today’s environment, it becomes critical for organizations to adapt and embrace a digital transformation that goes beyond implementing new tools and technology. By conducting a financial assessment, creating a business case, and building a road map, your organization can make the financial case for your digital transformation journey and get started today.

The new year brings unique opportunities for families and their offices, but it can also create new obstacles to navigate. FOX has identified three dominant themes that will drive disruption and opportunity for families of wealth, their family offices, and their professional advisors.
We rely on – and have come to expect – real-time information to make decisions in every aspect of our lives. Family offices are no different. Unfortunately, many continue to use time-consuming manual processes for getting their data into the systems that need it. As a result, many family offices have been searching for technology solutions that function like additional back-office staff, to free up existing employees to handle tasks that can’t be automated.
Family office technology continues to grow at an exponential rate. While the new technologies are exciting, many family offices are still dealing in old data methods. The technologies of the early aughts are no longer sufficient for future client demands but changing them isn’t like changing a light bulb. What challenges and opportunities should you be ready for? Which systems should you evolve first? What do you need to get your data ready for the transformation? What steps can you take to prepare for the family office of the future and better serve your clients?
