Arizona-based healthcare technology startup, Dollar Care, Inc. has announced the introduction of its DollarCARE online platform

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- The DollarCARE platform (www.dollarcare.com) enables individuals with no health insurance or high deductible plans to search and find providers near them that offer the lowest prices on medical and dental procedures, treatments and services. Individuals can select a procedure followed by a location and instantly access the average market prices in their area followed by a list of providers with low, transparent prices.

"Given the unfortunate circumstances we find ourselves in, we will likely see more and more individuals with no insurance and or with very high deductible plans who are paying insane amounts for procedures and services," says Mack Baniameri, cofounder of Dollar Care, Inc. "The reason is because consumers have no idea how much a medical or dental procedure costs until the bill arrives. And most importantly, consumers have no easy way to shop for best prices for medical and dental needs. Our goal is to make healthcare more affordable and consumer friendly. We do that by negotiating fair prices with high quality providers and passing on the savings to the consumers."

The DollarCARE platform also empowers independent healthcare providers to compete and grow their business by attracting cash pay patients. Healthcare providers that offer low prices on the DollarCARE platform, can directly connect with consumers who shop online for best medical and dental deals.

"The fact that the Trump Administration will require all hospitals across the country to provide clear prices for all of their procedures starting January 2021 proves that the time for hidden and inflated healthcare prices is over," says Baniameri. "If a consumer can search for the best prices on hotels and airline tickets, they should have the same ability to shop for best prices for healthcare procedures and services."

DocMagic Launches AutoPrep Technology, Enabling Total eClose™ to Accept Documents from Any Provider for Paperless eClosings

TORRANCE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, today announced the launch of AutoPrep, a new technology that enables the company's Total eClose™ platform to accept documents from any source - including non-e-enabled documents.

AutoPrep leverages sophisticated artificial intelligence, OCR and machine learning technologies to scan and parse documents, locate all signature and notary regions, then electronically tag them for eClosing, thus changing any document into a fully e-enabled document in seconds. As a result, lenders can use loan documents produced by virtually any document provider, from standard documents to partially e-enabled documents, with Total eClose and benefit from the technology's end-to-end, 100 percent paperless eClosing process.

AutoPrep can learn the nuances of specific documents and adjust accordingly going forward, identify whether signatures are improperly placed or missing, find e-tags placed by other providers, and even read documents that have been partially but not fully converted into e-enabled documents. In addition, because AutoPrep flags documents when it identifies situations that are outside the norm, closing personnel can be more productive by managing exceptions, rather than combing over every page of a document package.

"With AutoPrep, there isn't a single document that cannot be converted into a compliant e-enabled document and brought into Total eClose for electronic signature," said Dominic Iannitti, CEO of DocMagic. "While eClosings are more efficient, compliant, and enable the level of service consumers expect, they aren't as common as they should be. One reason is that some lenders are tied to systems that don't produce e-enabled documents. With AutoPrep, lenders can transition more quickly to an eClosing workflow bringing efficiency, consistency and significant improvement to the user experience."

AutoPrep is a feature of DocMagic's Total eClose platform, which was recognized as the mortgage industry's leading eClosing technology based on market share, overall satisfaction, and lender loyalty in STRATMOR Group's 2019 Mortgage Technology Insight Study. A comprehensive solution, it delivers a completely paperless workflow and seamlessly integrates every component of the closing process.

"DocMagic is known for its commitment to moving the mortgage industry forward with advancements like a 100 percent paperless end-to-end eClosing process," said Iannitti. "As the industry's eClosing leader, we are positioned to fill the gaps left by less advanced technologies. AutoPrep solves the longstanding and frustrating challenge that lenders face when they want to advance to eClosing, but are held back by their technology providers."

To learn more about AutoPrep, interested parties can sign up for a brief online demo of the new solution by emailing sales@docmagic.com.

DocMagic, Inc. is the leading provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, compliance, eSign and eDelivery solutions for the mortgage industry.

Alpine Bank Selects CompenSafe by LBA Ware for Efficient, Accurate and Scalable Compensation Plan Management

MACON, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- LBA Ware™, a leading provider of incentive compensation management (ICM) and business intelligence software solutions for the mortgage industry, announced that full-service community bank Alpine Bank has implemented CompenSafe™ to automate incentive compensation for its mortgage loan originators and fulfillment staff.

Headquartered in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Alpine Bank's mortgage division serves the home purchase and refinance needs of borrowers throughout the state's Western Slope and Front Range regions. The bank offers monthly commission opportunities to its 16 mortgage loan originators and awards per-file bonuses to processing, closing and underwriting staff. Although the mortgage division is small, Alpine Bank has a variety of compensation plans that pay out differently depending on the originator's experience and how established they are in the market.

Managing, calculating and communicating incentive compensation back to employees used to be something Mortgage Division President Dave Roberts did manually, but since the beginning of the year, Alpine Bank has been using LBA Ware's CompenSafe to complete those processes more efficiently and with greater accuracy.

"Calculating commissions and bonuses using spreadsheets is time-consuming and, like all manual processes, subject to fat-finger mistakes," Roberts said. "CompenSafe eliminates the opportunity for error by capturing pipeline information directly from our loan origination system. Pay is calculated automatically and available for employee review at the same time each month, like clockwork, no matter what else is on my plate."

"CompenSafe helps lending operations of every size transform incentive compensation from a process that's a drag on resources to one that is pinpoint accurate and effortlessly scalable," said LBA Ware Founder and CEO Lori Brewer. "It's a perfect match for a community bank like Alpine that remains rooted in values like service and transparency even as it continues to modernize and grow."

About Alpine Bank:

Employee-owned and locally operated, Alpine Bank is a full-service community bank that has been a part of Colorado since 1973. With 40 convenient locations from Durango to Denver, including Front Range branches in Denver and Boulder, Alpine Bank serves 140,000 customers with personal, business, wealth management, mortgage and electronic banking services. Alpine Bank's employees and managers, many of whom have been with the bank for 10 years or longer, share a commitment to remaining a true community bank offering localized and dedicated service.

Aclaró AI: Helping You Manage Risk in Uncertain Times by Lowering Our Risk Management AI Price to $999/month

CHICAGO, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- The rise of COVID-19 is one of the most disruptive forces in recent memory, note Aclaró. Regardless of where you live, the coronavirus is changing nearly every element of modern-day life, whether that is social distancing, the omission of handshakes, and even the purchase of bulk goods for a sustained quarantine.

The coronavirus is also affecting nearly every sector or industry-including the automotive lending industry. Whether you work in the finance department of a car dealership or at an auto lending firm, this Black Swan event may be causing immense stress on your business. We are now living in a world where possible potential risks have become all-too-real risks. Borrowers may find it difficult to pay back their auto loans. Increase in payment default is all but certain. All of us at Aclaró AI are ready to help you manage these new risks.

Regardless of the size of your auto lending business, our sophisticated artificial intelligence ("AI") systems can help your finance team remotely mitigate risk and safeguard your auto loan portfolio. The near-term future is so uncertain, we want to do our part to help your business come out of this crisis with as little damage as possible.

Mitigating Risk Through Near-Term Uncertainty

Aclaró AI's overarching mission is to help our clients leverage AI to grow their dealerships and sales. Our team has worked hard to develop extremely advanced AI algorithms to assess portfolio risk and stay ahead of the unknown.

For instance, our TrueView product lets clients get a granular look at potential loan defaults. It lets you easily manage your entire loan portfolio, whether you want to identify some of your riskiest loans, safest loans, or both. Within the TrueView dashboard, you can quickly see metrics like insurance coverage, credit terms, vehicle data, employment information, and more. With the continuing spread of the coronavirus, TrueView can deliver some much-needed peace of mind, as it can deliver clients with upwards of 97% precision on the likelihood of full loan payment or default. TrueView provides default alerts months ahead of the default event. As it has been tested in over two million real-time loan risk evaluations in the past 18 months, TrueView can go a long way in mitigating your overall risk.

TrueView is just one of our products that can help you navigate these uncertain times. Some of our other products include Nexus Score and Nano Profile (which let you access granular information about a prospect's financial health) and EngageMe (which is a consumer engagement app that identifies a borrower's propensity to buy). Using all of these products together, you and your team can capitalize on data to minimize defaults and underwrite loans that are likely to be paid off.

When designing all of Aclaró AI's products, we were laser-focused on making the experience as seamless as possible. Our software lets you access real-time data wherever you are. We like to think of TrueView as a real-life risk management expert that is available anytime and anywhere. We can deliver personalized insights on your auto loan portfolio in real time and offer ideas on how you can minimize risk in the next few months. Even better, our services are not affected by things like quarantines, employee absences, or travel bans. We are always available and can be a trusted asset as your company navigates these near-unprecedented times.

If you are not yet an Aclaró AI client, we invite you to learn more about our platform by clicking here - http://aclaro-4642182.hs-sites.com/aclaro-loan-risk-repayment-insider-look_1-0

Ultimately, we make it easy and highly cost-effective for you to leverage some of the most sophisticated AI technology to manage loan risk. Given the uncertain times we are living in becoming an Aclaró AI client is a smart investment.

Navigating Through the Fog

It is unclear when we will return to a sense of normalcy. Some say that we will be back to normal in just a few months while others project that the shakeout will take much longer.

However long it takes, the one thing we do know is that all businesses today must invest more time and resources into risk management. At Aclaró AI, we are laser-focused on helping our clients minimize their auto loan risk. We have developed a complete system that can identify risk and latent demand within your lending portfolio, allowing you to reduce financial damage from this global pandemic.

ARMCO Enhances ACES IQ with Addition of HMDA Questionnaires

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- ACES Risk Management (ARMCO), the leading provider of enterprise financial risk mitigation solutions, announced today it has added questionnaires related to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) to the ACES Intelligent Questionnaire (ACES IQ) functionality contained within the ACES Audit Technology™ system. With this set of HMDA-specific questions, ACES users can quickly and easily conduct quality control on their HMDA data before reporting this data to their assigned federal HMDA regulator.

"With the CFPB's 2019 HMDA rule changes now firmly in effect, lending institutions have a better idea of where their individual responsibilities reside in regards to HMDA reporting," ARMCO CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "Given this recent move from yearly to quarterly reporting, ARMCO felt the time was right to introduce HMDA-specific questionnaires to enable our customers to streamline and perfect their data integrity auditing for HMDA."

These additions are the latest in a series of expansions to the ACES IQ content library designed to enhance the compliance support ARMCO provides to its users. Using both managed and custom quality control audit questions, ACES IQ assists lenders in addressing regulations and guidelines set forth by state and federal regulators, private investors, the GSEs and agencies. The module leverages the loan-level data contained within ACES to quickly isolate desired question sets and answer-based logic to dynamically filter question sets down to the most relevant items, enabling ACES users to cut their review times by up to 50%.

Last year, the company added more than 4,000 questions to ACES IQ to ensure broad-based coverage of all lending compliance topics, including HMDA, and ease the burden for compliance teams in conducting loan-level reviews.

"Quality control and compliance go hand in hand - you cannot have one without the other," Gauthier said. "ARMCO has recognized this need from day one and invested considerable resources in proactively building out a compliance library backed by a highly experienced team of compliance experts to ensure the information ARMCO provides to its customers is always up-to-date and comprehensive."

SimpleNexus Unveils Sweeping Product Enhancements Aimed at Boosting Mortgage Lender Productivity

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, today announced the immediate availability of new capabilities designed to enhance mortgage originator productivity.

The product enhancements, unveiled earlier this month from the stage of SimpleNexus' annual user conference in Snowbird, Utah, include the following additions to SimpleNexus' mobile and web applications:

* On-the-Go Price Locking via Optimal Blue
Loan originators can now lock in an interest rate from Optimal Blue at any time, from any device. The ability to quickly lock in a loan interest rate is especially critical to helping loan originators reduce fallout for applicants with tight debt-to-income ratios.

* URLA Readiness
SimpleNexus has updated its tech stack to support lenders' use of the redesigned Form 1003, also known as the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA). URLA support is in live production for users of select loan origination systems, and the SimpleNexus team is prepared to support additional LOSs as they adopt URLA.

* In-app review of DU findings
Loan originators who are licensed to use Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) can review their DU findings within the SimpleNexus app.

According to SimpleNexus VP of Product Shane Westra, these and other new features entered live production with SimpleNexus' February 10 product release. Westra also shared the company's plans to release half a dozen additional product enhancements in 2020.

"At SimpleNexus, product development begins with listening to the needs of our users," said SimpleNexus VP of Product Shane Westra. "The response to these new capabilities, designed to help lenders work with ease no matter where they are, has been tremendously positive. Our product roadmap for 2020 will continue to focus on solutions that drive profitability and deliver a consumer-grade experience to all users."

Just last month, SimpleNexus added a dynamic task list feature, which allows lenders to set rules for configuring the documents requested from borrowers ("needs list") on the fly based on borrower responses to loan application questions. For instance, if a borrower is self-employed, the task list will automatically adjust to collect the additional documentation required from self-employed borrowers.

SimpleNexus is the digital mortgage platform that enables lenders to originate and process loans from anywhere. The company's best-in-class, easy-to-use app connects loan officers to their borrowers and real estate agents to easily communicate and exchange data in a single location throughout the entire loan life cycle.

MPI REPORT: Wide Range of Private Market Fund Returns Could Explain Ivy Endowments’ Lackluster Fiscal 2019 Performance

SUMMIT, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Markov Processes International (MPI), a leading provider of investment research, analysis and reporting solutions for the global wealth and asset management industry, today announced the publication of its annual Ivy League endowment performance analysis for the latest fiscal year, "Measuring the Ivy 2019: Decoding the Performance Gap."

The report shows that the average Ivy endowment return for FY 2019 was just 6.7%, significantly underperforming a reference 60-40 domestic portfolio. Between the best performing Brown at 12.4% and Columbia at 3.8%, Ivies also experienced the second widest dispersion of returns in the past decade and saw a shift in the historical positioning of performance leaders (e.g., Yale and Princeton) and laggards (e.g., Harvard and Brown).

MPI uses endowments' annual return data and returns-based techniques to decode what may have happened in FY 2019 and suggests endowments' private market investments were the likely root of the year's anomalous results. MPI points to the fact that in a typical year the range of potential outcomes of private market investments is two- to three-times greater on both the upside and the downside versus a universe of U.S. equity mutual funds. Such dispersion in private market returns could explain both the lackluster returns of most Ivies as well as the wide range of results in FY 2019.

Report co-author Megan Woods, CFA, Director of Quantitative Research at MPI, said, "Even in the absence of considerable allocations to U.S. public equities and bonds, both of which had a solid year, the seeming inability of elite endowments' large exposures to private markets to push portfolio returns beyond their middling figures in fiscal 2019 is noteworthy and tells of the challenges in getting PE and VC investing consistently right. The range of outcomes of PE funds makes it very difficult to underestimate the risk in private equity relative to just looking at average returns shown by an index. In many years, more than 25% of funds have negative returns, even though the index may register a positive return in the double digits. We hope our report helps the many investors who are seeking to evolve the measurement of the performance and risk of their private market investment portfolios."

Michael Markov, MPI CEO and report co-author, stated, "This report offers a cautionary tale. Investors, both institutional and retail, are seeking greater access to the private market opportunity set - however, even the most sophisticated investors with access to elite managers aren't immune from potential performance downturns and can suffer in a year that was, on average, good for private markets. At a time when the amount of dry powder waiting to invest in richly valued markets sits near historic levels, it could be wise for investors to scrutinize private markets deals, managers and portfolios with renewed diligence using the latest quantitative tools."

IDS Strengthens State-Specific Mortgage Document Preparation Functionality

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage document preparation vendor International Document Services, Inc. (IDS), announced today that it has enhanced eSign tools for state-specific document functionality in its flagship document preparation platform idsDoc. The addition of this functionality enables IDS clients to automatically access state-specific documents that are electronically fillable, where allowed by law.

"Because of the variances between state regulators, maintaining compliance at the state level is in many ways even more burdensome for lenders than doing so at the federal level - especially when adding digital mortgages to the mix," said IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey. "State-level compliance has always been a hallmark of the IDS platform. We are thrilled to make our digital mortgage functionality available to clients for use in the execution of state-specific documents and to help them maintain compliance while supporting their individual digital mortgage strategies."

The IDS library of state-required documents puts the standard collection of state documents at lenders' fingertips. This library is a collection of expansive regulatory research and is maintained and updated regularly by the IDS Compliance Department. In addition, the department maintains the "IDS State Disclosure Matrix," a reference document which lists the state-specific documents available in idsDoc and notes the default parameters used to determine when specific documents should be included in a loan package. This Matrix is available through the Customer Portal and in the IDS Help Center.

In addition, clients can have all disclosure documents electronically signed in the eSign Room with a unique login and secure email link for each document signer. Through this functionality, reviewing is verified and reported, and all compliance requirements, including timing requirements, are met. In the event the eSignatures cannot be verified, a physical disclosure package can be automatically sent by the IDS Fulfillment Center.

With IDS' expanded signing tools, loan officers and processors save time with the document verification process as completed by the borrowers. The review and signing functions have been expanded to allow the filling of text boxes and check boxes. These tools can be used with the standard documents as well as any custom documents the lender wants to include. This feature also eliminates the need to pre-disclose or include printed documents that require borrower selections and data input.

"As technology continues to improve the digital mortgage experience, IDS strives to meet its clients' every anticipated need in idsDoc," Mackey added. "By adding this functionality to our already expansive multi-state document preparation offering, we are simplifying things for our clients even more while maintaining our continued commitment to providing compliance support at all levels."

About IDS, Inc.

IDS, a Reynolds and Reynolds company, was founded in 1986 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a nationwide provider of mortgage documents and compliance. IDS services include eSignatures, closing documents, initial disclosures, document fulfillment and integration with leading loan origination systems and eClosing platforms. The IDS flagship doc prep solution, idsDoc, is recognized in the industry for its ability to be customized to meet specific lender needs, particularly in regards to major industry compliance changes.

GreenState Credit Union Drives First-Lien Mortgage Production with the Help of SimpleNexus

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus (https://simplenexus.com/), developer of the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers and real estate agents, announced that loan officers (LO) at GreenState Credit Union (GreenState) are using the SimpleNexus digital mortgage app to achieve record first mortgage production. In 2019, GreenState's 26 LOs produced more than 7,600 first-lien mortgage units, exceeding the lender's previous best by 1,600 units despite having fewer support staff on payroll.

GreenState adopted SimpleNexus in 2018 to streamline the lending process and improve its online lending functionality. Now the lender receives 63 percent of all mortgage applications through the SimpleNexus platform, amounting to more than 10,000 applications per year.

In addition to enabling GreenState to collect more loan applications, SimpleNexus has also helped the lender move those applications forward more quickly. Once borrowers complete an application, SimpleNexus prompts them to upload and submit verification documents right from their mobile phone or other web-enabled device. Similarly, LOs can review applications, order credit reports and send pre-approval letters from their preferred device, even if they're not in the office.

"I was a loan officer for 15 years, so every time I look at technology, I do it from the perspective of what we would need if I was still lending," said Ryan Doehrmann, vice president of mortgage lending at GreenState. "When we saw that our LOs could pull up an application, pull credit and send a pre-approval letter from a phone or tablet, we were sold. That kind of agility is a huge advantage - especially if your competition doesn't have it."

"SimpleNexus prides itself in building a product that helps our customers achieve measurable ROI while improving their teams' quality of life," said SimpleNexus Founder and CEO Matt Hansen.

"We have enjoyed partnering with GreenState Credit Union to bring its loan officers a more agile way to review loan applications and guide borrowers to close."

About GreenState Credit Union:

GreenState Credit Union, formerly known as University of Iowa Community Credit Union, is a member-owned financial cooperative with 19 office locations. Since 1938, GreenState Credit Union has grown to become the largest credit union in Iowa, with almost $6 billion in assets and 205,000 members. GreenState Credit Union's "members first" philosophy has enabled it to be consistently ranked in the top 1% nationally for Return to Member.

Utelogy Corporation Continues to Disrupt Enterprise Workspace Management with Announcement of 3.0 Release

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Utelogy Corporation, a visionary provider of control, monitoring and analytics software for workspace management, announced its 3.0 software release, which continues to expand on the enterprise features necessary to support a globally distributed organization.

To meet the needs of an increasing number of customers with high security and mission critical environments, Utelogy 3.0 will support a growing number of enterprise features such as High Availability (HA) and an On-Premise Version of U-Manage.

Utelogy's HA implementation employs high-performance clustering which has one or more U-Servers working together to provide failover. While the exact deployment depends on each customer's environment and its IT policies, a typical deployment will have a U-Server hosted on its own hardware or within a VM environment that isolates other U-Servers from a hardware or network failure.

For organizations where the cloud architecture doesn't fit within their IT strategy, these companies would still greatly benefit from the centralized monitoring and management that Utelogy offers. To meet these requirements, Utelogy will deploy a 100% on-premise solution that includes U-Manage and U-Enterprise, called Utelogy Private Portal. With the on-premise solution, companies will have access to U-Manage which includes the HTML interface and database as well as U-Enterprise which includes the U-Server, U-Control, and U-Console.

"Ensuring collaboration spaces scale to satisfy mission critical tasks and remain optimized is a daunting task in today's enterprise environment. IT departments look for robustness, performance, and scalability to ensure these management platforms enhance productivity with a lower total cost of ownership," explained Kevin Morrison, Utelogy's CEO. "With its REST API and data connectors, delivered last year, the Utelogy platform allows organizations to gather actionable intelligence across the enterprise," added Morrison.

Utelogy will be exhibiting at Integrated Systems Europe 2020 (ISE 2020) February 11 to 14, 2020 at the RAI in Amsterdam, in Hall 14 Stand M-170 and interested parties can schedule a demonstration here: https://www.utelogy.com/utelogy-demo-ise-2020/.

iTrinegy to Exhibit at SD-WAN Expo Florida 2020

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- iTrinegy announced today that it will be showcasing its Software-Defined Test Networks at SD-WAN Expo being held February 11 - 14, 2020 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/ Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. SD-WAN Expo is the leading forum for enterprise executives, service providers, and technology vendors to connect, learn and discuss how the market is growing and how to make the most of the SD-WAN opportunity.

The event includes a robust exhibit floor, industry perspectives, case studies, unique panels and presentations, special events, networking opportunities and much more.

Meet iTrinegy at SD-WAN Expo at booth #830 to learn more about iTrinegy's strategy for enabling both SD-WAN vendors and purchasing Enterprises to achieve realistic SD-WAN Proof-of-Concept and Proof-of-Value testing: https://itrinegy.com/solution-by-task/sd-wan-testing/.

"All organizations will have a concern when introducing new networks into the production environment, namely: Will they be able to deliver the anticipated benefits of SD-WAN without compromising existing application performance and service delivery? Vendors share this concern as they are often asked to demonstrate the effectiveness of their solution to the enterprises," explains iTrinegy Senior Technical Specialist, Frank Puranik. "Whether they are enterprises or vendors what they need is some way to conduct realistic pre-deployment testing of how applications will behave in the new network environment before actually investing in the proposed new infrastructure."

"This is where iTrinegy comes in. Our Software Defined Test Network (SD-TN) products enable both enterprises and vendors to recreate network topologies that accurately mimic the proposed real-world networks, like the Internet, MPLS and Cellular and their associated conditions including bandwidth, latency, loss and jitter."

Frank continues, "For the enterprise, this ability to see if the proposed SD-WAN solution works effectively in even the most trying of circumstances should provide the reassurance that they are making a sound investment. At the same time, a Software Defined Test Network enables SD-WAN vendors to demonstrate their products operating in a realistic equivalent of the customer's network, providing direct proof that it will work as expected when implemented."

Visitors to the iTrinegy booth will be able to discover how its Software Defined Test Network products enable customers and vendors to validate SD-WAN in a controllable environment that accurately mimics real-world WAN circuits, so that realistic proof-of-concept tests can be performed and repeated under both normal and challenging network conditions.

You can hear more from Frank by attending The 20 Questions...Go panel session on Friday 14 February 2020, where he, together with fellow panelists, will provide invaluable insight into what you need to do in the early phases of the SD-WAN research/deployment process, including realistic proof-of-concept testing in order to successfully select and implement the right SD-WAN solution for your organization.

Utelogy Launches U-Automate – Workspace Automation for Unparalleled Productivity Enhancements and Scalability

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Utelogy Corporation, a visionary provider of control, monitoring and analytics software for workspace management, today announced its automation tool, U-Automate. This module delivers the Room Readiness feature, which enables IT teams to remotely validate the readiness of all connected devices, sensors, etc., in its workspaces. These powerful features will be available for demonstration at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE 2020) February 11 to 14.

Ensuring collaboration spaces remain optimized and running at scale to deliver a positive user experience in today's enterprise environment is a daunting task.

Utelogy's management portal, U-Manage, released last year, already allows operations teams to drill down to see device metrics, documents, and events for all of its connected devices under a single pane of glass. U-Automate, is a productivity tool designed to eliminate the costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive manual processes enterprises employ today to confirm each conference room and the devices in those rooms are online and functioning properly.

U-Automate delivers the following features to improve efficiency for the IT organization:
* Build scripts by configuring blocks with the ability to enter custom parameters
* Test devices, video and audio calls, state checks, custom macros and more
* Schedule scripts to execute and repeat at any date, time and location
* Review test logs to pro-actively address errors and warnings

"We know that companies spend millions of dollars every year on manual room checks. With U-Automate, operations teams can leverage the technology to reduce labor costs by as much as 75%," said Kevin Morrison, CEO of Utelogy. "Automating the repetitive tasks allows companies to reassign those resources to more strategic, core business activities," added Morrison.

Automation not only delivers productivity gains for the operations team, but also for employees using the meeting room technology. When workplace technology functions the way it's supposed to, it allows employees to focus on the productive, valuable human work, allowing companies to attract and retain the best employees.

Utelogy's U-Automate lays the groundwork for future development efforts targeted to take advantage of machine learning to deliver Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can drive automation features that would include self-healing scenarios.

"Let's assume the AI engine has determined there's a 75 per cent chance a projector issue can be resolved with a reboot. The system could assess whether there are people currently in the room or scheduled to come into the room. If the next meeting is in 10 minutes, and the system knows the projector has a three-minute reboot, it could automatically reboot the projector without any human interaction. We believe self-healing is a key benefit of AI, and we expect that to provide immense business value in the future," Morrison explained.

Room Readiness, powered by U-Automate, will be available for demonstration at Integrated Systems Europe 2020 (ISE 2020) February 11 to 14, 2020 at the RAI in Amsterdam. Utelogy will be in Hall 14 Stand M-170 and interested parties can schedule a demonstration here https://www.utelogy.com/utelogy-demo-ise-2020/.

Loan Officers Executing Automated Marketing Campaigns Close Twice the Deals, Earn Double the Revenue, Top of Mind Finds

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Top of Mind Networks (Top of Mind), a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and marketing automation software for the mortgage lending industry, today released data revealing that loan officers (LOs) who utilize automated lead, prospect and nurture campaigns on average see double the number of closed loans and revenue production.

Top of Mind calculations derive from fourth quarter 2019 user behavior and productivity data for individual loan officers at its top 25 percent revenue generating lender clients. Automated marketing campaigns were highly correlated with improved LO performance when outbound marketing campaigns preceded the receipt of a loan application.

In the analysis, LOs leveraging Surefire's automated marketing campaigns closed an average of twice as many loans and produced twice the revenue, in contrast with LOs who did not engage prospects with automated marketing campaigns.

As reported by STRATMOR Group, Top of Mind's flagship CRM and marketing automation platform Surefire is deployed by 74 percent of lenders using similar solutions, making its users' behaviors a best practice indicator for improving LO performance and revenue generation, such as engaging leads with automatically executed, targeted marketing campaigns.

"The most profound insight from our data analysis is that using Surefire not only works as expected, but has the very real ability to substantially lift average closed loan volume and revenue produced by every loan officer," said Top of Mind CEO Bill Hayes. "Even at the simplest macro scale, this is meaningful evidence that using automated marketing campaigns succeeds as a best practice."

About Top of Mind Networks:

Founded in 2003, Atlanta-based Top of Mind Networks (https://www.topofmind.com/) has grown from a bootstrapped post-close, follow-up solution into the leading CRM/marketing automation firm in the mortgage industry. Their Surefire platform is widely regarded as the gold standard in enterprise CRM, automating best practice throughout a borrower's prospect-to-repeat-customer lifecycle.

IDS Enhances Audit Worksheet Functionality in idsDoc

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage document preparation vendor International Document Services, Inc. (IDS), today announced that it has redesigned the audit worksheet feature in its flagship document preparation platform idsDoc. Now, the audit worksheet dynamically displays vital loan information, including a record of audits and tests conducted, in a single, easy-to-read document, providing investors and auditors with a full understanding of the loan file.

"Today's lenders are required to conduct more testing than ever to ensure their loans meet both regulatory and investor requirements, but without proper documentation to prove these tests were conducted, lenders can miss opportunities to pass the first-glance eye test as well as to reference pending due diligence efforts," said IDS Vice President and General Manager Mark Mackey. "This document has quickly become accepted as a compliance certification for many investors' policies. By providing our clients with an easily referenced summary of audit activities, IDS is fulfilling on its promise to our customers to support their compliance efforts and deliver loan packages that are as precise as possible."

In addition to information on which tests and checks were performed, the audit worksheet also includes calculated values on data related to state, local and custom fields, thus providing an additional layer of security regarding compliance. The document is also intended to serve as a reference point to illuminate inaccuracies or differences between regulatory interpretations.

"Between human error and the often obscure nature of regulatory language, data discrepancies are bound to occur in the origination process," Mackey added. "The IDS audit worksheet serves as an added check to help lenders identify these instances before they cause issues or come to the attention of investors and regulators, thus preserving loan quality and lenders' reputations with these key stakeholders, and so far, the worksheet has proven to be an effective tool for achieving these goals."

About IDS, Inc.

IDS, a Reynolds and Reynolds company, was founded in 1986 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a nationwide provider of mortgage documents and compliance. IDS services include eSignatures, closing documents, initial disclosures, document fulfillment and integration with leading loan origination systems and eClosing platforms.

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- After a remarkable 2019, ACES Risk Management (ARMCO), the leading provider of enterprise financial risk mitigation solutions, is looking ahead to 2020 for what promises to be an outstanding year. In addition to adding several lenders to its growing roster of clients - including Bay Equity Loans, KWIK Mortgage, The KLR Group and multiple top-25 mortgage companies - ARMCO also achieved a company record in 2019 of one million audits conducted in a single year in its flagship audit platform ACES Audit Technology(TM).

ARMCO also launched several product enhancements in 2019, including a parallel workflow capability that saves time and reduces turn times while maintaining the quality of staff output to the ACES Audit Technology platform. Other noteworthy enhancements include an auto-answer feature that automatically answers audit questions based on available loan data, as well as an enhanced single sign-on that can reduce on-boarding time by more than 50 percent. Encouraged by these accomplishments, the company plans to expand its footprint in 2020 to support risk management, compliance and quality control for financial institutions with multiple loan products and lines, including consumer lending.

"One of the biggest strengths of ACES Audit Technology is its ability to function as an enterprise solution - providing organizations with one platform and removing the need for disparate software solutions and manual processes," ARMCO CEO Trevor Gauthier said. "In 2020, ARMCO seeks to share its technology with new markets, as ACES Audit Technology has proven it is not just a tool that can be used for mortgage quality control, but for any loan quality initiative in a financial institution."

2019 marked the beginning of ARMCO's relationship with New Capital Partners. The private-equity firm partnered with and invested in ARMCO, strengthening ARMCO's position in the industry and enhancing continued growth and innovation. ARMCO also bolstered its ranks with several key hires and promotions in 2019 and early 2020, including Gauthier's appointment as CEO in October 2019. Kyle Kehoe was hired as executive vice president of sales and Cassie Vosburgh joined as executive vice president of finance. Additionally, Sharon Reichhardt was promoted to executive vice president of operations. There have also been a number of additional hires within operations, product and engineering to round out the team and industrialize the platform and organization.

Throughout 2019, ARMCO and its employees were recognized for multiple industry awards. ARMCO was recognized as an innovative technology company and earned its fifth consecutive HousingWire Tech 100 award. For the third year running, ARMCO was named to National Mortgage Professional's Top 100 Mortgage Employers list, and individually, Reichhardt was named one of HousingWire's inaugural Tech Trendsetters.

"In addition to our award-winning technology, our staff is one of the biggest assets ARMCO possesses," Gauthier added. "Whether they are on the front lines helping to improve loan quality or behind the scenes keeping the operational wheels turning, our team of highly capable, caring employees are all dedicated to supporting our clients' success, and the key hires and promotions made in 2019 and early this year will help ARMCO continue to fulfill on that commitment."

After introducing an initiative during the 2018 holiday season, ARMCO also launched ARMCO CARES in 2019, a company-matching gift program. Available to both part-time and full-time employees, ARMCO CARES offers a dollar-for-dollar match of employee donations to a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization of the employee's choice.

"Giving back is one of ARMCO's key values. Our employees have always been the fuel behind ARMCO's success, and we are grateful to be able to use our success to support those causes that are near and dear to our employees' hearts," Gauthier said. "To date, ARMCO has contributed thousands of dollars to 25 charities through ARMCO CARES, and we look forward to continuing these efforts in 2020."
