Beneficial; just different than their prior book.
By Jeffrey Daniher
Dave Drucker and Joel Bruckenstein are two of the "go to" people when financial planners want to know what is what with technology for their practice. Their monthly newsletter is pretty much a gotta have for firms that want to keep track of changes of all things related to using technology (both hardware and software) to run one's business well.
The challenge with writing a book on technology is that much of the advice may be outdated by the time that the book is ready for sale. In my opinion, this is why much of their advice is delivered through seminars and through a monthly e-newsletter format. What this book does is offer a survey course on issues and areas of concern for those who are not already familiar with their work and who want to get a ground level survey of what is out there and what needs to be considered. This book would be especially beneficial to those who are newer to running their own practice or have not invested much in technology over the last few years and are due for an upgrade and update.
This book differs a bit from what I had expected which was a detailed analysis of what programs to consider and why. Instead, as explained by Dave in the preface, and summarized by Joel in the epilogue, they reached out to their FOPs (friends of planners) to have specialists in different areas write about what they know well. Given this format, almost a "seminar in a book", it allows the reader to pick and choose what subject interests them. Just like conference presentations though, the quality of each chapter varies significantly. Some were excellent and some left me wondering what was the point of this chapter? And, as one would expect, the authors of the chapters sometimes presented their viewpoint with a bias towards their selected resources. Some widely used products were given less coverage than some less robust applications, but all in all, Dave and Joel did a decent job of attempting to provide information, not sales pitches.
For disclosure, our firm is a leading edge technology user. I am a tech geek who likes being a financial planner more than I like being a techie. If you are already familiar with Dave and Joel's work, then you probably do not need to add this book to your reading stack. On the other hand, if you just want to learn more about different areas, like the cloud, and social media, and where tech for planners has been and is likely to go, then this is a solid addition to your reference library. But, do yourself a favor. Make sure that you buy the book AND read it soon, otherwise you will have additional catching up research to do.

A disappointment
By Insight
Compared to their first book, quite a let down. Where their first book applied to the solo practice advisor. This seems to be written for the larger firm. Hell, its really written by others anyway! Where as their first book shaped my practice. I can't think of any take-away's from this one.

Not as useful as the first book.
By DeDe
Having read the first "Technology Tools" years ago, I was excited to see a new release. Sadly, this book is more of a compilation of industry writers rehashing information that has been previously published in industry magazines or online. Some chapters felt a bit (product) biased based on the point of view of the writer. Since I am an avid reader of financial advisor technology articles, there was little new information. Also, the first book contained many direct recomendations whereas this one gives general overviews without much actionable information.
