ASC is currently converting more than 30 customers of PowerLender's predecessor, UNI- FORM, to the new system.

The system includes several new features, including re-engineered set-up routines, a customizable Graphical User Interface screen-builder and a data subset generator. The program also offers an offline processing mode, which enables remote uploading of loan data with a secure Internet connection.
