New Integration Enables OpenClose Lenders to Automate MERS® Loan Registration and Transfer via Cyberlink’s eRAMP System

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- OpenClose(R), the industry-leading mortgage fintech provider and omni-channel loan origination system (LOS), and Cyberlink Software Solutions, a provider of optimization and development solutions for mortgage lenders, announced the completion of an integration that eases the time consuming and laborious method of registering loans one by one with MERS(R).

Cyberlink's eRAMP MERS Transaction Management solution integration works by taking bulk loans that OpenClose lender customers need to register or transfer with MERS, and processing this important task efficiently, quickly, and accurately regardless of the number of loans to submit. eRAMP data then updates OpenClose's LenderAssist(TM) LOS, which includes registration confirmation dates as well as transfer of rights confirmation dates.

"We continuously look for opportunities to automate redundant tasks. The integration with eRAMP accelerates workflow, reduces errors and frees OpenClose users to work on other tasks," stated Vince Furey, CRO of OpenClose. "We are pleased to introduce eRAMP's MERS end-to-end transaction processing solution to our customers knowing that it will save them valuable time and money."

eRAMP has been relied upon for MERS(R) transaction processing by lenders large and small since 2003. Whether it's registering thousands of loans or a couple dozen loans, it's done with the click of a mouse and with minimal manual intervention by the lender. Confirmation reports along with details are provided back to the lender from eRAMP.

"We're always excited when we deliver new features that save time and reduce costs for our customers," said Greg Uttal, president of Cyberlink Software Solutions. "Our goal is to secure additional business and accomplish more with less by way of technology. With the new OpenClose integration, we're right on target to deliver value to our mutual customers."

OpenClose LOS Platform, POS System and PPE Receives the Highest Overall Satisfaction and Lender Loyalty Score in STRATMOR’s New ‘Technology Insight Study’

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- OpenClose(R), an industry-leading multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) and digital mortgage fintech provider, announced that STRATMOR Group's most recent Technology Insight Survey ranked the company's LOS platform, point-of-sale (POS) system, and product and pricing engine (PPE) as having the highest Overall Satisfaction and Lender Loyalty Score(TM) out of any vendor surveyed in the mortgage industry.

This year, STRATMOR conducted a more extensive survey than in previous years, evaluating vendors in core areas of residential lending automation. OpenClose's entire mortgage software solution suite was lauded by customers, scoring highly in all categories.

"Our core focus is innovation and support and our customers' happiness reflects the level of ingenuity and strong impact our development efforts have had," said Vince Furey, CRO at OpenClose. "I am particularly pleased to receive validation of our very hands-on, boutique-style customer support culture. Scoring second-to-none with 100% effective ratings in both help desk and overall customer support is a terrific accomplishment for our support team. We're elated that our solution scored so well and appreciate the hard work that STRATMOR Group invested to make the Technology Insight Study happen."

OpenClose had the highest Overall Satisfaction rating out of all LOS vendors surveyed in the mortgage industry, scoring 9.7 out of 10, had a perfect 100 Lender Loyalty Score(TM), and it is the only LOS provider that had zero outages reported. In the POS category, OpenClose scored higher than any vendor for Overall Satisfaction at 9.4 out of 10 and had the best Lender Loyalty Score(TM) with 86 out of 100.

The new STRATMOR Technology Insight Study also included a section that covered front-end digital mortgage solutions. STRATMOR's analysis of the Lender Loyalty Score(TM) for these systems shows OpenClose as the number one vendor in Overall Satisfaction. Key observations in the survey found that the most important lender perceived benefits were faster cycle times, increased borrower satisfaction and greater task and workflow automation.

Lastly, OpenClose's DecisionAssist(TM) product and pricing engine scored the highest in Overall Satisfaction and also touted a perfect 100 for its Lender Loyalty Score(TM).

"JP Kelly and I started OpenClose to innovate mortgage banking solutions, solve pain points and generally make the process faster, better, and cheaper," said Jason Regalbuto, the company's CEO and CTO. "With the dedication of an outstanding team of professionals with extensive mortgage experience and wonderful customers, we have achieved our goal. Seeing the customer satisfaction results in the STRATMOR report is a tremendous validation of 20 years of hard work. There's no stopping us now."

OpenClose recently broke new ground with the launch of the mortgage industry's only solution provided by a single vendor that offers a comprehensive Digital Mortgage POS solution consolidated with an end-to-end, multi-channel LOS that is completely browser-based. The unique solution removes multiple vendors, contracts and pricing models to dramatically reduce loan-manufacturing costs while also providing a more streamlined workflow. It takes the borrower experience to new heights and provides newfound back-office efficiencies.

RMA Taps New Beer Trends to Combat Urban Blight

VERO BEACH, Fla. -- As the craft brewery trend matures, RMA (www.rma.us.com) is advising city leaders on the smartest ways to continuing tapping into the beer industry as a tool for revitalization. In states such as Florida, the full-service economic redevelopment firm, still sees growth potential for craft breweries. In other areas, the firm is guiding cities to develop attraction plans for distilleries, co-op breweries and brewpubs.

"Florida still offers tremendous potential for beer-industry growth," said Farrell Tiller, RMA's Economic Development Coordinator. "Recently, The North Miami Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (NMBCRA) announced the state's first 'Brewery District' and craft brewery incentive program. The NMBCRA recognized a market gap in this area, and RMA guided the CRA through the process."

Breweries can improve slum and blight in a community by creating an adaptive reuse for derelict/vacant buildings such as old department stores, warehouses, churches, fire stations and train stations. Once the buildings are retrofitted as craft breweries, they have the potential to become a major catalyst for revitalization within a city, attracting additional visitors, job creation and investment.

"With North Miami Beach, RMA analyzed the market potential and developed the framework for a targeted industry incentive program to attract craft breweries," continued Farrell. But he also warns cities not to jump on the craft beer bandwagon just because it worked in other towns.

The cities who have successfully engaged breweries as part of their revitalization plan, did so after careful analysis and as part of an overall redevelopment strategy."

Back in 2011, RMA launched the revitalization of Oakland Park, Florida with the creation of a culinary arts district. That city's growth was ignited when Funky Buddha brewery relocated to the area. That success story led to craft breweries popping up in many cities including Pompano Beach, Wynwood and more.

"Currently, the craft beer market represents about 12% of market share in the United States, while other beverage markets like coffee and high-end drinks can command up to 40%," he explained. "So, there is room for smart growth, but we also see related emerging trends in the market."

Farrell notes that Millennials, who have grown accustomed to drinking craft beer, are now seeking to socialize in brewpubs, where they can enjoy their favorite beers accompanied by housemade foods.

"The demand exists for family-friendly restaurants where guests can enjoy great beer and food while experiencing the good feeling of supporting a local business versus a chain. Brewpubs fit this model and will be the next phase of development."

Taking a giant leap beyond simple community gathering spots, co-op brewery models are on Tiller's radar as he tracks states like Montana, New Mexico and Texas, where groups or cooperatives are investing in breweries as a means to stimulate revitalization. Cooperatives are organizations owned collectively by members who share in profits or benefits. While currently there are only a handful of these co-ops in in the United States, Canadian co-ops are touting increased employment and neighborhood unity.

For cities wanting to capitalize on the economic engine of the beer industry, Tiller advises city leaders seek experts to analyze 3 key areas:

* Feasibility: Does your area have a market of consumers to support the business? And will the city offer incentives to entrepreneurs looking to open and operate breweries in your community?

* Zoning and Land Use: Is zoning and land use attractive or prohibitive for breweries? Many cities still have antiquated codes that make it difficult for breweries to locate close to their customers and other food and beverage related businesses.

* Real Estate Environment: Does the available real estate match up to brewery needs? And if not, can it be adapted?
