Maintaining an effective Compliance Management System (CMS) entails each lender’s structured plan for meeting regulatory compliance. Developing training manuals and documents — the people, training, procedures — is just part of implementing a working CMS. It’s critical for lenders to implement automated technology solutions to ensure standardization, consistency and verifiable compliance across their entire operation. 

Electronic document generation coupled with automated compliance is key to delivering a verifiable service protecting all parties in the mortgage process. Providing a scalable and adaptable set of tools, DocMagic’s automated compliance solution allows lenders to respond quickly and easily to shifting regulatory requirements. 

A complete eClosing solution for Lenders One members to help accelerate the eMortgage journey

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lenders One Cooperative, a national alliance of independent mortgage bankers, today announced the launch of Lenders One^® eClosing by DocMagic, a complete eClosing solution for borrowers, lenders and investors. The eClosing solution provides an entirely paperless workflow that integrates every component of the closing process and guides users through each step.

Launched for Lenders One members today at the Lenders One Summer Conference in Salt Lake City, Lenders One eClosing by DocMagic is evidence that eMortgages and eClosings are no longer a future-state vision. When using the solution, the average loan closing “at the table” can be reduced from 60 minutes to 15 minutes, helping to dramatically improve the borrower experience. 

We were thrilled that a few of our women executives got to be a part of a worthy charity effort in Dallas, TX last month. DocMagic joined other mortgage industry technology providers Credit Plus, Home Captain and Snapdocs as key benefactors in a charity effort that raised $1,500 for Girls Inc. of Metropolitan Dallas. Tanya Brennan, eMortgage Product Manager, and Lori Johnson,  Director of Client Services, were in town to attend the networking party at Hotel ZaZa in uptown Dallas and were happy to collaborate in sponsoring a Girls Inc. wish list containing games and craft supplies totaling $1,500. Read Full Press Release

Iannitti won the award for his hands-on development and launch of DocMagic’s SmartCLOSE™ collaborative closing platform, along with the success of its Total eClose™ solution for comprehensive, 100% paperless eClosings.  He was also credited with helping drive the early adoption of eSign technology in the mortgage industry in an effort to eliminate the use of paper and create new lending efficiencies.  In January of this year, DocMagic hit a company milestone with its proprietary eSign technology, surpassing 300 million electronic signatures.

The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts When it Comes to Digital Mortgage Solutions and eNotes

By Tim Anderson,
Director of eServices, DocMagic, Inc.

Having worked in the mortgage industry for over 30 years, I’ve pretty much seen it all. As a mortgage technologist, I’ve watched vendors and lenders alike create hype around various technologies and new buzz words over the years, only to see so many of them never gain adoption or provide value. Sometimes, the rollout is flawed or it’s an outright failed go-to-market strategy. I recall when the likes of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), cloud-based computing, and so many others instantly became attractive terms and acronyms with mortgage technology vendors flocking to incorporate them into their marketing speak—whether they delivered on their promises or not.  

Collaborating closely with the GSEs, investors, lenders, servicers, warehouse lenders, and many other industry participants, I’ve worked to forge ahead and evangelize the far-reaching benefits of a comprehensive “eMortgage” process, a term that has essentially been replaced by “digital mortgage.”  No matter what you call it, it’s always been about replacing and automating paper-based processes with automation.

Now we’re living in a world of digital mortgage. We’ve seen many new and small software companies pop up, driving hard to attract lenders with slick marketing speak and often low price points for what is sometimes immature, unproven technology.
