Adobe and Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Team to Deliver Mortgages Electronically

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) and Wolters Kluwer Financial Services today announced an agreement to provide lenders with a new option for delivering mortgages electronically. With this agreement, the companies will work together to provide integration between Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Expere® Integrated Enterprise (IE) solution and Adobe® LiveCycle® interactive process management software.

The Expere IE solution serves as a central repository for the multitude of data comprising a mortgage institution’s documents. When data is added, deleted, or changed in the repository, appropriate updates are automatically made to all of the documents—allowing an institution to use a single document library instead of multiple ones. Wolters Kluwer Financial Services plans to deliver its Expere IE content with support for PDF.

The combination of Expere IE content and LiveCycle will help lenders streamline the steps of mortgage sourcing, origination, processing and servicing; and enable them to customize, deliver and digitally sign mortgage forms quickly. This new solution is expected to reduce document errors and the costs associated with printing, and improve overall customer satisfaction as the time for processing mortgages is reduced. Additionally, new guidelines from MISMO, for electronically signing PDFs, and MERS (Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems), for registering loans via PDF, are helping to ensure that the electronic mortgage processes can be completed in a consistent and standardized fashion.

“Partnering with Adobe enables us to give lenders access to trusted compliance content, based on legislative and regulatory requirements from all 51 U.S. jurisdictions, in PDF,” said John Bryant, executive vice president of Banking and Mortgage for Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. “Lenders now have even more flexibility in selecting the tools that work best for their businesses.”

“The amount of paperwork involved in a mortgage is immense, and the content of loan documents can vary depending on the state or county,” said Eugene Lee, vice president of vertical and solutions marketing at Adobe. “The mortgage industry is increasingly embracing the benefits of PDF. By working with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services we are helping lenders to provide a seamless and secure PDF workflow process that saves time and reduces errors.”
