As technology continues to evolve seemingly by leaps and bounds, title production systems (TPS) are changing in ways that will make title firms more productive and efficient. Examples of new TPS features include a wider variety of communication tools, more secure transactional portals and artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can organize unstructured data.
With vendors, technologies and services are expanding at a rapid pace, title firms want their TPS to function as the “hub for all ancillary connections,” explained John Freyer, president and co-founder of Settlor.
“Title companies don’t expect their TPS to develop the latest technology,” he said. “They expect it to connect to a broad array of providers and present those connections in a unified experience that eliminates multiple logins, duplicate data entry and constant document uploading between applications.”
This means TPS providers are implementing features that typically existed in stand-alone applications. These features include communication tools – such as customer texting, email management functionality and chat resources – as well as transactional or customer portals that will provide more security and give real estate professionals and consumers access to ancillary services.
The Title Report called on Freyer, as well as Paul Bandiera, senior vice president, agent technology, at First American Title; Charlotte Brown, vice president of product for Qualia; Terri Hanson, president and CEO of VizionX, and Gorkem Kuterdem, chief technology officer at SoftPro, to discuss the next generation of TPS and what that will mean for the title industry.
