Titan Lenders Corp. Among ‘2012 Top 50 Service Providers,’ as Recognized by Mortgage Technology Magazine

Author: Titan Lenders Corp
Dateline: Denver, Colorado (DENVER, Colo.)  | Wed, 27 Jun 2012

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Mortgage fulfillment outsource services expert Titan Lenders Corp. has been named a '2012 Top 50 Service Provider' for the second consecutive year by SourceMedia's Mortgage Technology magazine.”



A R T I C L E:

Mortgage fulfillment outsource services expert Titan Lenders Corp. has been named a "2012 Top 50 Service Provider" for the second consecutive year by SourceMedia's Mortgage Technology magazine.

According to the magazine's June issue, the Top 50 Service Providers list recognizes "the technology and service vendors that excel in four categories -- continued advancement of technology and services, viable revenue model and value proposition to customers, exceptional customer service and unique impact on the mortgage industry."

Particular emphasis was placed on Titan's accomplishments over the period between May 2011 and April 2012. Specifically, Titan was recognized for its addition of several new offerings, including:

* MERS(R) Quality Assurance procedures data reconciliation and auditing services for MERSCORP(R) servicer and sub-servicer members;
* Processing, underwriting and escrow services for originators; and
* The expansion of its Whole Loan Purchase Review program to include mortgage investors.

"While the mortgage industry isn't totally out of the woods yet, we've seen tremendous strides made to improve technology over the past year or so, and much of the change that has happened was driven by companies like Titan that have consistently championed standardization and transparency, " said Titan president Mary Kladde. "The competition for the Top 50 Service Providers gets stiffer every year, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have been recognized by Mortgage Technology magazine for our efforts."

About Titan Lenders Corp.:

Titan Lenders Corp. (www.TitanLendersCorp.com) is one of a specialized few providers of mortgage back office fulfillment services, a not-well-understood facet of mortgage lending that includes closing, funding and post closing services. Community banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers and brokers, and warehouse line lenders use outsource providers strategically to minimize compliance risks in a time-sensitive error-averse environment. Fluctuations in mortgage lending volume also lead some mortgage lenders to outsource their entire back office operation and secure predictable "per transaction" pricing rather than maintaining an inflexible static in house staff.

Titan Lenders Corp.'s patented, proprietary web-based software Cerberyx (CBX) supports a full suite of fulfillment services, including: funding, compliance, closing, post-closing, purchase review for correspondents and warehouse lenders, trailing documents, MERS management, FHA insuring, and document management (imaging). CBX's flexible rules-based architecture allows Titan clients to define field level decision trees, priorities, checklists and process management specific to an investor product variance or a cross-investor climate.

Premier Medical Transportation, Inc. Honored on California’s Small Business Day

Author: Premier Medical Transportation, Inc.
Dateline: Colton, California (COLTON, Calif.)  | Tue, 19 Jun 2012

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Premier Medical Transportation, Inc., a Colton-based medical transportation company, was selected from Assembly District 62 to be honored on Small Business Day. Assemblymember Wilmer Amina Carter presented the award on June 11, 2012 in Sacramento.”



A R T I C L E:

Premier Medical Transportation, Inc., a Colton-based medical transportation company, was selected from Assembly District 62 to be honored on Small Business Day. Assemblymember Wilmer Amina Carter presented the award on June 11, 2012 in Sacramento.

"Premier Medical Transportation was selected because of its reputation for excellence and its dedication to the community," said Assemblymember Carter. "Their 95 percent accuracy rate of on-time pick-ups symbolizes a dedication to helping people in their time of need. This is a company that truly cares."

Tony Myrell, President and CEO of PMT, accepted the award. He grew up in the inland area and currently serves as president of the Colton Chamber of Commerce and a member of the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board. He actively supports the community through charitable contributions and sponsoring events, operating toy drives and food bank collection.

"Through dedication and hard work, you can operate a successful small business in any kind of economy," Myrell said. "But I believe the key to true success is foresight. Being able to sniff out a future trend before your competitors, and identifying how you can solve problems are the keys to growth."

But mostly Myrell and his team are dedicated to compassionate, quality service.

"We value our relationships with our customers and we care for them like they are family," he said. "We work with many hospice patients and if we can make them smile during their last days, then we have done our job."

PMT is a leading provider of service-oriented, cost effective non-emergent medical ambulance transportation. It also supplies medical equipment through its subsidiary, Premier Medical Equipment Supply. Their fleet includes 10 ambulances, 40 wheelchair/gurney vans, and seven medical equipment trucks. They handle hospice and ambulance transportation, and also serve the equipment needs of their customers.

A successful entrepreneur with a clinician background, Myrell has founded three medical equipment companies that were later acquired by companies such as Avon Products, Addus Healthcare and Ro-Tech. He is proud that PMT is the only company in the Inland Empire that handles all three segments in one: medical transportation, ambulance and medical equipment.

California Small Business Day was first established in 2000 as a result of a unanimous vote in the California Assembly decreeing and honoring the contributions of Small Businesses to the State of California. Over the past decade, the event has grown to be a very popular and well-attended luncheon where Senators and Assembly members honor a small business owner from their district.

The company makes an average of 300 trips per day. For 12 years, PMT has experienced significant growth and has become one of the leading providers of Non-Emergent Medical Ambulance Transportation and home medical equipment services in Southern California.

About Premier Medical Transportation, Inc. (PMT):

Headquartered in Colton, Calif., Premier Medical Transportation, Inc. (PMT) was established in June of 2000 by three healthcare professionals who have an accumulation of over 75 years experience serving Southern California's healthcare community.

His presentation, "Creating Customers for Life," was an overview of his company history and the business strategy that Powers originated for promoting customer retention and business development. Mr. Hope was the only Solutions Partner to present at the international conference.

"I am extremely proud of my team at Powers for earning this international distinction for two years in a row. It shows the level of dedication and knowledge that we bring to our business. I was also pleased to be asked to represent the North American Solution Partners at this conference and share our business philosophy with my colleagues from around the world," says Hope.

"It was also very informative to meet with other partners from around the world and to learn how their companies and their countries view energy efficiency. I found that many of these countries are more aware and more active in utilizing technology for energy savings than I find in the U.S."

Powers of Arkansas has 130 employees around the state that serve customers ranging from over 35 hospitals including the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and over 75 State and Commercial customers including the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and over 30 Higher Education campuses.

A R T I C L E:

Edgewood Partners Insurance Center (EPIC), a retail property, casualty and employee benefits insurance brokerage, announced today that senior account executive Tina Brink has again been recognized by Risk and Insurance and Human Resource Executive magazines as a "Top Employee Benefits Consultant" in 2012. Brink is one of only 18 benefits professionals nationwide to be selected for the honor this year. Brink was also named a Top Consultant in 2011.

The Top Employee Benefits Consultant Award identifies outstanding benefits consultants across the country who have done extraordinary work for their clients over the past year. Criterion for selection include client service excellence, creativity and innovation in problem-solving, cost-savings, program improvements, and health and welfare insurance and benefits consulting expertise.

"Tina excels in her work because she delivers outstanding results to her clients through rigorous strategic and financial management of their benefits program and unrelenting advocacy," added Dana Liedel, EPIC's Employee Benefits Practice Leader. "It's exciting to see her and EPIC recognized nationally in this way for the second year in a row."

Brink was recognized as a "Top Employee Benefits Consultant" because of her exceptional customer care and background as an underwriter, where she developed unique skills to assist in her negotiations with carriers.

A notable example of Brink's negotiating skill is her work with Aspire Public Schools in Oakland, one of the nations leading K-12 charter school systems serving low-income students. With the California school system facing substantial financial challenges, Brink was able to save Aspire $354,000 in 2011, followed by negotiations in 2012 that garnered a $316,000 reduction in proposed benefit increases. In addition to negotiating significantly better rates, Brink secured attractive benefits for Aspire.

Another example of Brink's ability to deliver creative solutions is the wellness plan that she created for Xyratex International, a leading provider of data storage technology. According to Karin Rodriguez, U.S. benefits and contingent workforce manager for Xyratex International, "We were starting from nothing, with no money to work with. Tina quickly and effectively put together a plan for 500 employees."

"Tina is an invaluable member of our team," said EPIC co-founder and chief executive officer, Dan Francis. "She exemplifies the EPIC spirit and our commitment to client-focused excellence. I'm extremely proud of Tina and the outstanding team that supports her."

Collectively, Brink saved her clients more than $1.5 million in 2011. She is located in EPIC's Folsom, Calif. branch office and is a part of the company's Northern California Employee Benefits Consulting Practice.
