Global DMS added a new workflow engine to eTrac, the industry’s most widely used appraisal management technology. This new workflow engine will grossly expand user customizability to achieve virtually limitless possibilities for custom workflows and enable accessibility to the industry’s newest technology features, such as eTrac ATOM, Global DMS’ recently launched mobile application. 

“Think of it as a system that’s smart enough to know exactly where an appraisal order needs to go, every step of the way, for every unique user,” said Vladimir Bien-Aime, chief executive officer of Global DMS. “If the order needs to be pushed to processing or underwriting or uploaded to the GSEs through the UCDP, the system will automatically take care of that. If a certain action needs to get done, like emailing the borrower at a certain time, it can do that, too.”

eTrac’s new workflow engine will be so fast and easy to customize that users will be able to create their own unique business rules that not only automate user-designated actions, but also guide each appraisal order to the next appropriate step. These custom rules can be set up and changed in a matter of moments through eTrac’s menu-driven setup process, which is easy enough for a layperson to use without the need for a dedicated IT professional.

This new workflow is part of Global DMS’ focus on providing major enhancements and upgrades to its family of technologies. In March 2012, the company launched a mobile application, and it has plans to launch additional new technologies throughout the remainder of 2012. This workflow provides the foundation for all new Global DMS technologies to be completely compatible and to fully leverage the benefits of emerging technologies.
