The hosted option gives mortgage companies, which have purchased PointCentral, the ability to store Point loan files on a secure outsourced central server. Calyx Software has partnered with Access Business Technologies (ABT) and focusIT, Inc. to offer a choice for customers who opt for hosting services on a monthly lease basis. The hosting program minimizes up front capital expenditures and time otherwise spent purchasing and implementing an internal server.

"The hosting option is perfect for those companies that may not have access to a central server or the ability to purchase one," said Dennis Boggs, senior vice president of Calyx Software. "Companies that lack an information technology (IT) department or other outside resources to assist in setting up their PointCentral server are also good candidates for the hosting option as all of the work and immediate costs involved are negated. We're proud to be able to work with ABT and focusIT for these services. They provide our customers with the same high levels of support and service they deserve and have come to expect from Calyx."

Calyx's PointCentral is a comprehensive data management solution that fits the needs of any size company-from a single office to a network with multiple offices or remote employees. PointCentral not only provides a centralized repository for all loan documentation and imaging, but also allows authorized users to apply field-level rules and conditions. Controlled access to screens, document storage, conversation logs, utilities and templates, meets the needs of financial institutions that require a higher level of security. Calyx's secure hosting option also ensures the ability to meet ever-changing and increasingly stricter compliance standards.

"With today's mobile environment, it's crucial that all loan data is stored in a secure location while also allowing remote accessibility," Boggs continued. "Our new hosting program provides an easy-to-deploy and affordable solution for organizations looking for enterprise-wide capabilities. In an increasingly competitive industry, Calyx provides yet another low priced program that drives costs and inefficiencies out of the loan origination process, resulting in improved productivity and profits for our customers."

PointCentral is extremely affordable starting at $595 with $175 per seat for up to 10 seats. The price per seat is reduced incrementally for companies that require more than 10 seats. The hosting option starts at $59 per month with no set-up fees.
