OAKS, Pa., Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced that Rockland Trust Investment Management Group (IMG) will adopt the SEI Wealth Platform^SM (the Platform) to provide a modernized user experience through a web-based wealth management solution. The Platform is a fully-integrated, single-infrastructure technology solution developed to support client relationship management, including front-, middle- and back-office services.

"We are excited to continue our 27-year relationship with Rockland Trust IMG," said Al Chiaradonna, Senior Vice President of Private Banking at SEI. "The SEI Wealth Platform provides the integrated tools and automation designed to boost transparency between Rockland Trust IMG and their clients, as well as improve workflow efficiency and, ultimately, the user experience."
