Corporation subsidiary eAppraiseIT LLC plans to
begin testing new software, which will connect it to a la mode's
Mercury Network.
The network consists of true desktop software components and
lender-centric server software. Custom software plug-in products,
such as the Mercury plug-in, allow Mercury Network members in the
lender community to leverage a la mode's coverage, technology and
reputation with appraisers to enhance eAppraiseIT's trading partner
relationships. During the pilot, eAppraiseIT will test a custom
plug-in for Mercury, enabling its appraiser trading partners to use
their favorite form-filling software, regardless of brand. Contents
of the compressed-data container will include the Portable Document
Format (PDF) appraisal report and the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance
Organization (MISMO)-compliant XML tracking data. Workflow and
review rules designed by eAppraiseIT will pre-process the
report.
A la mode inc. also announced that Nationwide Appraisal Services
Corporation (NASCO) has joined the Mercury Network, and will
begin development of its own Mercury plug-in to check appraisal
data against both industry standard and company-specific business
rules.
