At one Midwest wealth management company, there’s no need for clients to travel far to meet with their financial advisors.

Based in Southern Pines, North Carolina, First Bank is a community bank with more than 100 branch locations in the Carolinas. Since 1935, a deep commitment to its clients’ best interests has kept the bank growing. Today, with more than 1,000 employees and $6.1 billion in assets, First Bank is one of North Carolina’s largest financial institutions. 

As advancements in technology open doors to opportunity, the business landscape has forever changed.  As new ecosystems form in the business landscape the race to compete, to satisfy client needs faster and to extend digital services farther is at an all time high. Industry lines are blurring, organizations are becoming more and more interdependent on one another and they now look to technology to make it all work. As more businesses adopt the cloud, IoT, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, lack of mission-critical connectivity means lack of progress.
