Gallagher Financial Systems and IntraPrise Solutions, Inc. Form Mutual Alliance

Companies use Merit Matrix Connect data to transfer business rules

Brentwood, TN - Gallagher Financial Systems, Inc. (GFS), a leader in enterprise Loan Origination System technology, and IntraPrise Solutions, Inc. (ISI), a premier software solutions managed services and software products provider, have formed an alliance to use Merit Matrix Connect (MMC) to create a unique, tightly integrated interface. Merit Matrix, a loan product eligibility information outsourcing service, is ISI's flagship product. MMC integrates the investor lending guide information compiled by Merit Matrix with the workflow/pipeline management technology of GFS to offer a fully automated system to their mutual customers.

GFS has developed a process to import the product eligibility business rule data from Merit Matrix's search engine directly into their NetOxygen business rule designer. The resulting product eligibility rules are made available directly to the customer's .NET NetOxygen lending platform. This process eliminates the need for customers to manually enter their lending guide into a machine-readable format within a rules engine. As new rules are added, the existing ones remain valid because the integrated system has been engineered to accommodate multiple versions of business rules.

"The rules are automatically updated by the system," explained Don Hubert, vice president of External Services at GFS. "Not only does this solve the problem of having out-of-date rules due to the inability to keep up the maintenance, but it also allows rules to be changed as of a specific date. This gives lenders the ability to have loans in the pipeline that are always qualified against the correct set of business rules."

The new system significantly enhances efficiency and it adapts to individual business models. GFS plans to offer this interface as part of its base product to new customers, and GFS will work with their existing customers who may be interested in converting their product eligibility rules to use this interface.

The first company to take advantage of the new technology is planning to deploy in a production environment some time in the first quarter of 2007.

"With this product, companies get to combine two technologies that have been very successful in their respective areas," said Frank Poiesz, executive vice president at ISI. "They are able to use Merit's premier eligibility search engine and combine it with GFS' best-in-class loan origination system. This is a win-win solution."
