According to the magazine’s Spring 2013 issue, the Top 50 Service Providers list recognizes “the technology and service vendors that excel in four categories — continued advancement of technology and services, viable revenue model and value proposition to customers, exceptional customer service and unique impact on the mortgage industry.”

As the inaugural recipient of the Lenders’ Choice Mortgage Technology Award in 2012, IDS was recognized for the continued improvements it has made to its flagship document preparation system idsDoc. Over the nomination period (April 2012 to March 2013), IDS made significant upgrades to its user interface to allow for multi-browser compatibility and to provide a cleaner, more uniform user experience. IDS also added electronic signature certificates to support the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 4506-T form.

“IDS is grateful to Mortgage Technology for all the recognitions the publication has been so kind to bestow upon us this past year,” said IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey. “To see so many of our partners join us on this year’s ‘Top 50 Service Providers’ list is an honor. We look forward to continuing to provide our customers with fully customizable, zero-defect docs; responsive customer service; and superior functionality.”

NEWS SOURCE: International Document Services Inc. :: This press release was issued on behalf of the “news source” by Send2Press® Newswire, a service of Neotrope®. Original source of this news item: http://www.send2press.com/newswire/Mortgage-Technology-Magazine-Names-IDS-to-2013-Top-50-Service-Providers-List_2013-05-0502-006.shtml .

Compared to 2011, IDS saw a 144.5 percent increase in initial disclosure orders throughout the year. Total 2012 document orders increased 70.4 percent from 2011, and IDS grew its client base by 40 percent over the same period.

IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey attributes the company’s growth in 2012 to historically low interest rates, compliance and constantly changing regulations, which contributed to lenders reevaluating their third party vendors especially on the document side of the process.

“It’s really quite simple. Lenders want a vendor that can ensure compliance, and IDS gives this assurance to our clients,” Mackey said. “Furthermore, IDS also has ramped up its customer support staff to ensure that we’re able to handle increasing volume without sacrificing our responsive customer service.”

IDS also received the Mortgage Technology Lenders’ Choice Award in October during the 99th Mortgage Bankers Annual Convention. The recipients of Mortgage Technology Magazine’s “Top Tech-Savvy Lenders and Servicers” voted on the award.

“IDS strives to create raving fans, and receiving this particular award validates our efforts,” Mackey added. “We’re so thrilled to have won the Lenders’ Choice Award in 2012 and thank all of our customers that voted for us.”

The new service, FES Reporter, is a service that builds and distributes audit reports, as well as certificates of completion, for documents signed electronically in the idsDoc system. Clients can opt to have the 4506-T audit report sent automatically on the first of the month. Certificates of completion are available upon request through IDS customer service.

“The move to finally make the 4506-T an e-sign document provides the missing piece in the ability to e-sign all origination documents. It was the main paper signature document left in the mortgage origination process, and this is the next step to a completely paperless process,” said IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey.

In order to meet IRS requirements for auditing of e-signed 4506-T documents, IDS began capturing additional information about signer activity in late 2012. This additional information enabled IDS to build a certificate of completion for 4506-T documents, according to IRS guidelines.

The certificate of completion indicates when activities related to a document occur, such as when the document was created in idsDoc, when notice was sent to the borrower/signer, when the borrower(s) signed into idsDoc or when each signature item on a document was completed. For IRS purposes, the certificate of completion is the documented evidence that the borrower/signer actually signed the document.

“We understand that our clients are concerned about the compliance with the electronic signature platform requirements promulgated by the IRS, and we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure that our electronic signature platform is compliant with the IRS requirements,” Mackey added.

Sponsored by SourceMedia’s Mortgage Technology Magazine during the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Annual Convention in Chicago, the Lenders’ Choice Award recognizes the technology provider delivering the best in customer service, value proposition and overall user experience.

According to the magazine, this year’s winners “have demonstrated a commitment to using technology and regularly implementing new innovations to produce marked business improvements.” IDS clients featured on the list include Benchmark Mortgage, Churchill Mortgage, Inlanta Mortgage, Nail Your Mortgage and RMC Vanguard Mortgage.

“Innovation, process improvement and top-tier customer service are the cornerstones of the IDS philosophy, and it’s not surprising that these also form Mortgage Technology Magazine’s basic criteria for selecting its ‘Top Tech-Savvy Lenders and Servicers,’” said IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey. “We’re thrilled to have such a strong showing on this year’s list and offer our sincerest congratulations to all the winners.”

Over the first half of 2012, IDS experienced a 52 percent increase in the number of documents ordered over the same period in 2011. In addition, IDS has had four consecutive record-breaking months in 2012 and increased its client roster by 33 percent.

IDS also achieved a record in June for the total number of closing documents and initial disclosures ordered within the idsDoc system. As compared to June 2011, doc orders increased by 46 percent and initial disclosure orders by 85 percent.

Early data from third quarter 2012 indicates that IDS is on track to achieve similar results in the second half of 2012. For example, IDS saw a 16.2 percent increase of mortgage documents from July to August and a 99.18 percent increase as compared with volume achieved during August 2011.

According to IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey, historically low interest rates and ever-changing regulations have contributed significantly to its new client growth and increased mortgage documents processing volume.

“With all the new proposed regulations from the Consumer Financial Protect Bureau (CFPB), particularly in the area of disclosures, the need for compliant documents is more important than ever,” Mackey explained. “Lenders want, and are actively seeking, docs vendors that can ensure compliance down to the last period, and we’re happy to accommodate them.”

“We are thrilled to see such fantastic growth in the first half of 2012. The numbers we are seeing this year are by far the best we’ve seen in the past few years,” he added. “Accordingly, we’ve ramped up our customer support staff to ensure that we’re able to handle the increased volume, per usual, without a hitch.”

The IDS Super User Group was initially conceived as a forum where IDS clients and partners could give ideas on how to improve the idsDoc platform. Through the group, members will also be able to discuss specific topics such as compliance issues, special features within idsDoc and the overall look and feel of the idsDoc web portal, as well as industry best practices.

“The first priority at IDS is to our users and their needs. We want to provide them with the highest quality system that does exactly what they want it to do,” said IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey.

“The Super User Group should have a ‘the sky’s the limit’ mentality when it comes to voicing their wants and needs for the idsDoc system,” Mackey added. “We’re looking to our customers to help define the future of our system. There’s no reason, outside of legal or regulatory requirements, that we can’t make idsDoc do everything that our customers want it to do and more.”

The IDS Super User Group currently has 10 participating organizations – 1st California Funding Group; Churchill Mortgage; Dime Bank; Extraco Mortgage; Farmers State Bank of Madelia; Magna Bank; McGlinchey Stafford Youngblood & Associates LLP; Nail Your Mortgage; ProLender Solutions; and Sentry Credit Union – and hopes to gain more clients over the next year, ultimately creating an IDS User Conference in Salt Lake City where IDS headquarters are located.

“We are happy to be participating in the super user group for IDS. We are very much looking forward to getting some insight, learning and possibly helping with features within the idsDoc software,” said Peter Vassilatos, chief technology and services officer at Nail Your Mortgage and IDS Super User Group member. “This is not only a great opportunity for us at Nail Your Mortgage, but a great way to continue to build our existing relationship with IDS and the IDS team.”

According to the magazine’s June issue, the Top 50 Service Providers list recognizes “the technology and service vendors that excel in four categories – continued advancement of technology and services, viable revenue model and value proposition to customers, exceptional customer service and unique impact on the mortgage industry.”

Placing particular emphasis on IDS’s accomplishments over the period between May 2011 and April 2012, the magazine noted the follow as the primary reasons for IDS’s selection:

* Various mortgage technology integrations, including the most recent with On The Go Technology’s mobileLO point-of-sale (POS) iPad application;

* Enhancements to idsDoc’s e-sign capabilities that allow borrowers to select loan options and type selected information directly into specific areas of the loan documents; and

* IDS’s deployment of Assistly’s SaaS-based social media customer service platform.

“The caliber of companies named to Mortgage Technology’s Top 50 Service Providers is always high,” said IDS Executive Vice President Mark Mackey. “Our first priority at IDS is to provide our clients with the most sophisticated technology and the absolute best customer service possible. Honors such as these validate our strategy, and we’re truly thankful to have been bestowed with this honor for the second year in a row.”
