Byte Software Announces Interface with PeirsonPatterson, LLP

KIRKLAND, Wash., Dec 15, 2005 – Byte Software, a leading provider of mortgage lending software solutions, announced a partnership with Texas-based PeirsonPatterson, LLP to provide users of BytePro, its loan origination software (LOS) with fully compliant closing loan packages through PPDocs.com, PeirsonPatterson LLP’s Web-based document ordering platform. PPDocs.com enables clients to order, produce, deliver, print and track fully compliant closing document packages online.

Mutual customers can now move data seamlessly between the two systems, eliminating the need for manual re-entry of information. The interface streamlines the document ordering process, increasing efficiency through an expedited process, while also eliminating the risk of errors from redundant data entry.

“At Byte Software, we are in the business of providing our customers the resources and technology that they need to be successful,” said Joe Herb, general manager of Byte Software. “The development of interfaces with key partners, such as PeirsonPatterson, LLP, allows us to pass along additional resources and a competitive advantage to our customers.”

Developed to conform to the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization's (MISMO) standard for handling closing documents data, the interface between BytePro and PPDocs.com was completed quickly and accurately. With industry leaders adopting MISMO standards, the benefit to customers is tangible, as it lends itself to a faster and more efficient loan transaction process.

“This interface is of significant value to our shared customers,” said Michael Patterson, partner of PeirsonPatterson, LLC. “It improves workflow for our lenders, saving them time and money so they can focus on their core initiatives – like closing more loans.”
