Back in September, Columbia Ultimate had announced plans to integrate DANTOM Systems’ eNotice service to provide clients access to seamless and secure email communication.
DANTOM’s eNotice service allows collection agencies to use email communication with the responsible parties while ensuring all security and regulatory compliance guidelines have been met. eNotice also lets users order emails through existing workflows or from the collector screen—minimizing required training and maximizing cost savings and efficiency.
Columbia Ultimate’s partnership with DANTOM Systems allows collection agencies to enhance their use of technology to handle more accounts, more effectively increase collections and support their bottom line. Both companies have a strong, rich history, and are built on similar values that allow them to serve many mutual clients.
