Next-generation financial planning is the theme at this year’s Technology Tools for Today (T3) conference in Dallas.

On Friday, the first full day of the three-day T3 conference, the tech news kept coming, and it was undeniable that technology providers to financial advisors are preparing for a next-gen shift as investors becoming increasingly comfortable with online financial services.

“If you can find your spouse online you can probably find your advisor,” said Neesha Hathi, senior vice president of Advisor Services Technology Solutions at Charles Schwab.

Hathi noted that WebMD changed the way doctors work as patients went online to become better informed. Now, she said, advisors are transitioning into a similar role as their clients follow their finances online and expect advisors to be their trusted navigators.

With that next-gen theme in mind, here are some of the high-tech news highlights coming out of T3:
