The platform and software tools, which are used by major mortgage lenders, also provide for secure electronic document storage (eVault), eSignature capture and eValidation, as well as asset and income verification services. Through this acquisition, IDS is positioned to deliver a broader complement of electronic mortgage origination and closing services to its clients and the industry at large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at the current mortgage industry landscape, the eMortgage is inevitable \u2013 it\u2019s a matter of \u2018when,\u2019 not \u2018if,\u2019 and IDS wants to be at the forefront of delivering the tools and services our clients need to make the eMortgage a reality within their organizations,\u201d said Mark Mackey, vice president and general manager of IDS. \u201cIDS has historically developed its technology in-house, but we felt there was something to be said for bringing to our clients a proven eMortgage solution that has a demonstrable track record of success in some of the largest lending institutions in the country. To us, that\u2019s what Encomia brings to the table and why this acquisition made perfect sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mackey also noted that regulators, led by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), support the push to eClosing, typically pointing to the benefits in efficiency for the mortgage industry and the convenience, transparency and security for consumers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough the Encomia acquisition and other planned additions, IDS is injecting itself deeper into the eMortgage continuum, which starts with docs and moves through eSign, eNotary, eClosing, eNotes and, ultimately, eVault,\u201d Mackey said. \u201cAdding innovative technologies like Encomia\u2019s bolsters our core strengths while also extending our ability to deliver greater efficiencies for lenders and a more transparent, rewarding experience for consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Encomia is the first acquisition by IDS since becoming part of Reynolds and Reynolds in October 2015.
