The following was a question given to a candidate for a Business Analyst role during their interview process.
We are looking to build a new messaging application to integrate into the WIN (Wealth Intelligence) Platform to allow Wealth Management Firms to communicate directly with their clients. The WIN Platform utilizes Bootstrap with Angular.
The application will allow communication between Clients (end investors) and the Client’s Investment Manager. Please include as much functionality that a messaging application of this nature might require and sufficient functionality to allow the Wealth Management Firm to manage the application.
Feel free to talk about any ideas you have for extending the product in the future.
