AUSTIN, Texas, April 4 /PRNewswire/ -- ARC Systems, the leading mortgage technology application service provider, announced the completion of its first phase in implementing automated underwriting and business process management technology for MLSG Home Loans (MLSG, Inc.) of Reno, Nevada. ARC Systems' flagship product, LendTech(TM) Mortgage, will be used by MLSG, Inc. for loan origination, automated underwriting, and business process management. The solution will also include customized functionality to allow MLSG, Inc. to interface with their servicing and document systems and even their accounting systems using the LendTech Mortgage system.

Phase one of the project is customizing LendTech Mortgage to MLSG, Inc.'s specific requirements. This includes setting up MLSG, Inc.'s underwriting guidelines, pricing matrices, business process management and extended document and accounting systems functionality for use internally across their VPN. Phase two will enable functionality over the web, allowing preferred brokers to submit applications across the internet using a Web browser.

"We are very excited to see the first phase complete," said Ed Gormastic, President and CEO of MLSG, Inc. "We were assured ARC Systems was the right choice when they arranged a trip to our site to work side-by-side with our staff to study our workflow and create a customized business process management model for our implementation of their LendTech Mortgage technology. It's great to see that kind of service and flexibility in a product and a company."

A unique feature added to MLSG, Inc.'s implementation of LendTech Mortgage was the ability to underwrite combo loans. "This functionality allows a client to request an 80/20 or 80/15 loan product over the Web," said Ed Jones, President and CEO of ARC Systems. "The system processes and automatically underwrites the combo loan as two separate loans, but ties the two together so they can utilize redundant information and underwrite in parallel in less than 30 seconds.

"A lender's ability to stay competitive in this market will rely greatly on their ability to embrace technology and utilize its capabilities to eliminate inefficiencies and inconsistencies in the life of the loan," added Jones. "We are allowing our customers to do just that and in the process we are redefining what a loan origination system can and should be."
