ST. CLOUD, Minn., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- VMP(R) Mortgage Solutions, Inc., a Bankers Systems, Inc. company, today announced that Secured Funding Corporation has chosen VMP as its document solution provider. Secured Funding is integrating VMP's compliance content and its RAKIS(R) Document Control and Production System into Secured Funding's loan origination process. VMP's solutions will provide Secured Funding with significant timesaving benefits, as well as compliant document content.

VMP Mortgage Solutions and Bankers Systems are part of the Wolters Kluwer Corporate & Financial Services division. VMP's RAKIS Document Control and Production System expedites the creation, packaging, and printing of mortgage lending documents through centralized document selection logic. RAKIS takes advantage of client/server architecture, ODBC, XML, and ActiveX(R) technology to retrieve data from multiple sources on a network and incorporate it into complete and printable document packages.

"VMP's RAKIS system is the solution we have been looking for to help us assemble document packages easier and faster," Richard Triplett, CMB, vice president and chief compliance officer at Secured Funding, said. "We also chose VMP Mortgage Solutions as our document solution provider for the clear benefits provided by using up-to-date, compliant content."

A flexible system capable of leveraging legacy systems, RAKIS outputs VMP documents formatted to the open data standards created by the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO) and a variety of other file formats, such as Portable Document Format (PDF) and Printer Control Language (PCL).

"VMP's compliance content and RAKIS system will help Secured Funding streamline its documentation process and build upon its thriving lending business," John Bryant, senior vice president of banking for Bankers Systems and Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, said. "The integration of these tools is another example of how VMP Mortgage Solutions meets the needs of the industry and helps mortgage lenders increase efficiencies and grow their business."
