Laserfiche Technology Supports FSA Treating Customers Fairly Rules

The article reports that Laserfiche is offering technology and know-how to help independent financial planners and investment advisers in the United Kingdom meet the requirements of the Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) initiative mandated by the United Kingdom’s (U.K.’s) Financial Services Authority (FSA).
