FICS Exhibits Its Next Generation of Mortgage Software at 26th Annual Users' Conference

Using their 26^th Annual Users' Conference as a forum to share with customers the future direction of the company's loan origination software, residential loan servicing software and commercial loan servicing software, Financial Industry Computer Systems, Inc. (FICS^®), hosted more than 200 customers in Dallas for three days of educational seminars, training sessions and forums on product development.

The centerpiece of the conference was sharing information about the next generation of FICS' origination and servicing software. Attendees learned more about the new platforms' sharable services, which are built on a .NET (News - Alert) Framework that include a rich Windows^® Presentation Foundation user interface. FICS' Loan Producer^® customers, whose meetings focused on detailing the specifics of the new system, will be the first to utilize the new oftware, with Mortgage Servicer™ and Commercial Servicer^® customers soon to follow. The new Loan Producer system was also shown in the servicing sessions as a preview of what to expect with the next generation of servicing software.

"I've been in this business for over 30 years, and FICS' software has been the best I've ever used," said Elizabeth Conrado, vice president of Residential Lending for Long Beach, Calif.-based LBS Financial Credit Union. "We are extremely excited to get the new Loan Producer! The system will be even more user-friendly, and will help us continue to improve our efficiencies within the credit union."

Dawn Gibbs, FICS' CEO and chairman of the board, shared with customers how the new products and services build on the best of FICS' past, while taking advantage of new technologies.

"We have kept the best things about the original and added to them to build something completely new - and better," Gibbs said in her opening night speech. "The transition of FICS' solutions to shareable services using the .Net Framework enables more flexible configurations, scalability, and endless opportunities to take advantage of the latest in computer and software technology. It takes time to get there, but the future holds exciting things."

Susan Graham, FICS' president and COO, provided additional insights into the many enhancements FICS has made over the past year, while recognizing the key role FICS' customers have played in the evolution of the company's services.

"Each customer is a giant whose shoulders we stand on. It is their feedback and experiences that we build on," Graham said in her speech. "Even more so, it is the values they share with us - a commitment to quality, great service, and providing the best value possible - that not only assists in building FICS' software of the future, but makes our conference a great success year after year!"

Attendees also participated in a program of activities, workshops, panel discussions, demonstrations and educational training sessions. The 2013 Users' Conference will be held April 3-5, in Dallas.
