OCWEN TECHNOLOGY XCHANGE ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF
REALSynergy SERVICING SOFTWARE
Commercial and Multifamily Loan Servicing Software Offering Scalability and
Advanced Functionality
July 18, 2000 - West Palm Beach, FL - Ocwen Technology Xchange, Inc. (OTX),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ocwen Financial Corporation, today announced
the release of the REALSynergy(TM) Loan Servicing System. Developed by
the Synergy subsidiary of OTX in Nashville, TN, REALSynergy replaces its
DOS-based AMICUS product. AMICUS is currently one of the most widely used
commercial and multifamily loan servicing systems in the industry. While
REALSynergy is a new system, it builds upon the success of AMICUS -- adding
a graphical user interface and a 32-bit Windows-based system. Therefore,
REALSynergy offers multi-tasking, system stability and additional
functionality. Utilizing multi-tier architecture, the system is designed
to provide scalability for any size organization and can operate as a
thin-client, thick-client -- or as a standalone system. The application
can run on multiple servers in order to handle user processing as demands
increase.
The initial release of the REALSynergy system offers several unique
capabilities such as: maintenance of multiple escrow accounts for a single
loan; combinations of multiple loans, borrowers and properties; and robust
custodial banking and cash management including full ACH. Features
included in this release are task and contact management systems,
customizable drop down lists and extensive use of wizards simplifying the
setup process. The system also offers user defined forms and reports as
well as powerful ad hoc reporting capabilities through the use of Crystal
Reports(TM).
OTX is treating the new product as an enhancement, providing REALSynergy to
existing AMICUS users for a modest conversion fee rather than the cost of a
new system. According to REALSynergy Group Executive, Steve Wood, Jr.,
that decision not only made good business sense by keeping the existing
client base of AMICUS users, but it is also a reflection of the company's
commitment to the commercial and multifamily loan servicing industry.
"Our software was built around three principles -- ease of use,
affordability, and our in-depth understanding of the commercial loan
serving industry," said Wood. "When it comes to keeping up with the
changes in technology for this industry, we see ourselves in a leadership
role, looking ahead for the next change and providing the features and
functionality that the market needs."
In addition to the REALSynergy loan servicing system, OTX is creating
additional products for the commercial loan industry including an ASP model
commercial/multifamily loan origination management platform, a life
insurance company investment accounting system and a construction lending
system.
Ocwen Technology Xchange, Inc. provides business-to-business e-commerce
solutions via the Internet for the mortgage and real estate industries,
designs software solutions for mortgage loan origination and servicing and
also provides implementation, integration and consulting services related
to its software and Internet products.
