Tavant Technologies introduces on-demand version of Warranty and Repair Management system with an innovative pricing model

Responds to market needs by offering transaction based pricing, rapid deployment, and minimal upfront investment

Santa Clara, CA, April 23, 2009 Tavant Technologies, a leading provider of warranty chain management solution and IT services, today announced launch of its powerful Warranty and Repair Management (WRM) system in an on-demand model. It requires minimal upfront investment; customers would be charged a per-transaction fee after the system is fully operational. The new release has enhanced capabilities, such as support of fleet claims, better parts & labor capture and enhanced rules capability across the board apart from under-the-hood technical enhancements for better usability and robustness. It has a new extended service contract module that allows the buyer to customize and purchase the service contract online.

Tavant's fifth-generation warranty management platform allows companies to fully automate warranty claims processing end-to-end - including supplier recovery, parts management, extended warranty and service quality management. Tavant provides extensible rules and roles-based automated claimsadjudication process workflow to minimize processing cost.

As the global economic situation continues to be challenging, the demand for SaaS-styled software has started to increase as companies look to cut capital costs in favor of relying more on outsourced managed services.

"As valuable as warranty chain management systems can be, in this economic environment it's tough to get any manufacturer to commit to conventional, upfront investment in software," noted Warranty Week editor Eric Arnum. "A pay-as-you-go model is an ideal and low-cost way to get a company to upgrade to next generation software."

WRM's on-demand model addresses that need, and unlike conventional products has no additional installation and maintenance costs. Moreover, customers will benefit from regular upgrades of the product. Tavant, which is SAS 70 and ISO 27001 certified, hosts application for several customers and supports their SLA requirements with its 24x7 monitoring, support and hosting infrastructure.


"We have observed an increasing demand for SaaS model due to its cost-effectiveness, easier deployments and internal resource independence," said Anubhav Sudha, head of Service-Operations Practice at Tavant. "WRM has a multi-tier, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that maximizes flexibility and removes platform and technology dependencies."

"Many of the prospects we have spoken to want to upgrade to the next generation solution platform, but find it challenging to commit to an upfront capital expenditure," said Hassan Rashid, Global Head of Sales & Marketing at Tavant. "With our innovative, minimal-upfront pricing model, we are making it easier for our customers to quickly deploy a best-in-class warranty system and benefit from real-time ROI."

First Horizon readies for the next round of growth through Tavant Technologies' POS Platform

Tavant's proven loan origination technology and domain expertise enable First Horizon to improve loan advisory capabilities and loan consultant efficiency across all direct lending channels

Santa Clara, CA, May 17, 2007 - Tavant Technologies, a leading provider of IT solutions and services to the mortgage industry, today announced that First Horizon Home Loans, a First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE: FHN) company and one of the nation's leading home financing companies, has selected Tavant Technologies' POS Platform as its universal home financing sales support system for its direct home lending channels and products.

This new loan sales platform will enable First Horizon to further expand its differentiating ability to provide borrowers with sound advice in the loan process. First Horizon expects that with this new platform, its loan consultants will be able to understand borrower goals and needs rapidly, and propose a range of loan options with their associated benefits in real-time. This will boost customer satisfaction and lead capture and conversion rates, and will lay the foundation for the next round of growth for First Horizon's direct-to-the-consumer channel.

"We evaluated all vendors and POS platforms available in the market and are confident that we have selected the right technology, system and vendor for our business," said Howard Graham, president of consumer direct for First Horizon. "Tavant's platform supports a needs-driven, advisory-focused loan sales process. The system is designed to help our loan consultants better match our clients' needs to one of the scores of loan products we have. It is this kind of process that sets First Horizon apart in the market, and Tavant's platform will allow us to further grow our home financing business and significantly improve efficiencies."

The Tavant POS Platform allows loan consultants to rapidly capture key borrower information and assess eligibility for available loan products. More importantly, the system instantaneously calculates any benefits that a borrower will reap from the loan transaction. The Tavant POS Platform is specifically designed for an advisory-focused sales process, allowing loan consultants to easily review a borrower's credit situation and provide advice on how to best structure debts and liabilities in the context of a loan transaction. At the core of the Tavant POS Platform is a pricing and deal structuring optimization engine that allows loan consultants to provide borrowers with different loan options matched to their needs in seconds. The platform takes on the time consuming tasks of working through available loan products and underwriting guidelines, the borrowers debt and liability situation, the borrower's needs and goals in the loan transaction, fees associated with the loan and any applicable high loan cost statues to identify the loans best suited for the borrower. The result is a rapid, advisory-focused sales process where loan consultants make relevant loan proposals to borrowers, always stay within compliance, and loan proposals do not change during underwriting and processing.

"We are excited that First Horizon has selected us among the 21 vendors they evaluated, including some of the industry system veterans," says Hassan Rashid, SVP of Mortgage & Financial Services at Tavant. "The Tavant POS Platform is designed for rapid customization, configuration and implementation. Built on a pure service-oriented and web-enabled rich Internet Application architecture, the platform also provides the flexibility to evolve along with changing business needs and drivers."

The Tavant POS Platform provides complete transparency into the sales process, allowing the managers of loan consultant teams to ensure rapid response to incoming leads and inquiries and full compliance with company policies and lending statues. It is a highly effective tool for organizations to increase lead conversion rates and minimize their cost of originating loans, while raising customer satisfaction.

Tavant's POS Platform is part of a broader enterprise lending system (ELS) platform that Tavant offers to the mortgage industry. The component and service-oriented nature of the Tavant ELS Platform allows lenders to flexibly reuse components across wholesale, retail, correspondent, home equity and non-prime lending channels. The underlying integration framework allows lenders to re-use existing technology assets and build them as services into the Tavant ELS. With this flexibility, lenders can rapidly and cost effectively enhance their origination systems and implement improvement roadmaps with short-term business impact and ROI.

Tavant featured in Mortgage Technology Magazine

Vol. 13, No. 7 October 2006 –When Long Beach Acceptance Corp. settled on Tavant to provide a new system, Tavant won out over competitors because of "the effort and energy Tavant put into analyzing and understanding our business needs," Long Beach operations VP Michael Pavlin told us. Time and time again, we hear that technology by itself is nothing unless it serves to meet actual business requirements.

We inaugurated our Fix-It award to underline that point: A software tool should fix a business problem. We believe Tavant, a newcomer to the ranks of recognized technology vendors - but a company that recently completed an enterprise implementation for Ameriquest - is going to be on our next Top 25 vendor list and will be a significant candidate for our awards in coming years. That will not be because Tavant - like a lot of vendors these days - touts itself a leading provider of service-oriented architecture, but because it passes muster with prospective customers as leveraging SOA to deliver measurable business benefits to lenders.

Lenders are increasingly aware of their technology options and wary of hitching their wagons to systems that don't work. They are more sophisticated than they used to be about the responsibility they have to conduct due diligence. To respond to lenders willing to do their part of the work, the good vendors are providing tools and facilities to help lenders define project requirements upfront and test the match-up with vendor offerings.

As Tony Garritano's article on end-to-end systems underscores, lenders have more ways of getting best-ofbreed performance out of a vendor that contracts to give them an end-to-end system. The onus of proving the value of technology is shifting away from complex implementations where lenders pay out big bucks before they see any ROI, toward "pay as you go" implementations where each module or service proves its worth and starts generating revenue or cost-saving efficiencies before implementation starts on the next piece. And as our cover story on testing shows, lenders are going to have more and more opportunities to have evidence that a system scales and matches their business needs before they buy.

This issue also offers a summary look at a research report lenders can use for help in benchmarking and mapping their strategies for harnessing imaging to take out paper and keep pace with the evolution of e-mortgages, specifically it details "DO's and DON'Ts for Acquiring an Imaging Capability" that are in line with lenders' business needs.

Custom vendor offers mature Default management software - Tavant featured in "Inside Mortgage Technology magazine"

October 2006 –After nearly four years of developing its default management technology, vendor Tavant is ready to offer a version to the broader market.

Preferring to call the system a capability rather than a product, Tavant worked with a single large lender, who declined being quoted, to develop "sophisticated" default management technology. Christoph Knoess: Former VP Mortgage & Financial Solutions, said since lenders are shifting focus from origination and lead generation management to managing their servicing businesses, this a good time to release this technology.

Tavant is one of the very few vendors left that specializes in building custom mortgage technology. It has 1,200 employees, mostly based in India. The vendor creates its technology to resemble the way service oriented architecture works in that it is very flexible and integration friendly. The default management application does fit "very tightly" with Fidelity National Information Services' servicing technology, Knoess noted.

As a custom developer, Tavant does have to walk a fine line between creating a capability for a specific client and one for general consumption. Most lenders have a "secret sauce" they use in their business processes, which they consider a competitive advantage. Each servicer that chooses Tavant's default management technology will ultimately get a mature and customized application, but it will not necessarily contain the secrets from other users, Knoess explained.

One underlying element in all default management efforts is the workout plan. It can be hard to get delinquent borrowers on the phone, so when servicers can connect, it is very important to get the issues settled in that one call, Knoess said. Tavant's technology will allow servicers' default staff to develop a workout plan in real time.

The default technology also enables servicers to streamline the management of their REO portfolio. In the case of the servicer/co-developer, it was able to substantially cut the average number of days it took to dispose of foreclosed homes.

This caught the eye of Moody's Investors Service, which bumped its rating of the servicer. The ratings firm has noted often in the past year that its view of servicers is heavily influenced by the technology they use to manage their servicing business.

Tavant Technologies Introduces Powerful Default Management Capabilities
Enables Mortgage Servicers to Minimize Default Rates and Achieve Lowest Foreclosure Process Cost

Santa Clara, CA - October 23, 2006 –Tavant Technologies Inc., a rapidly growing IT services company focusing on the development of mission-critical software applications, today announced the immediate availability of its unique default management capabilities that enable mortgage servicers to achieve lower delinquency and default rates. These capabilities are comprised of a set of frameworks and components for speedy deployment that leverage Tavant's extensive experience in the development and implementation of Mortgage Servicing applications, specifically in default management.

Tavant's Default Management frameworks and capabilities enable it to work with servicers in the development of systems that can enhance the default process in two critical ways: 1) provide agents with workout plans in real time that will help return more borrowers to performance and 2) improve productivity and minimize the costs involved in managing various aspects of default such as Loss Mitigation, Foreclosure and Real Estate Owned (REO). It is estimated that the loss severity for REO properties can be as high as 35%, even more in some cases. Even with average default rates of 4-5%, the losses can mount up fast. GMAC-RFC (Residential Funding Corporation), America's largest private issuer of mortgage-backed securities and a leading warehouse lender, estimates that it loses over $50,000 per foreclosed home. Tavant can help servicers achieve better productivity and higher gains through its extensive capability in technology-based business processing re-engineering.

Tavant's expertise with building a comprehensive suite of workout plans for loss mitigation enables servicers to improve loan performance. A robust Foreclosure timeline and case management system, and a state-of-the-art REO solution can also help convert illiquid assets into cash in the shortest possible time frame. Additionally, Tavant has built other components to manage property services (inspection, valuation, preservation and code violation), credit services, document services (generation, storage and delivery), and other value-added services that make your default management system portfolio complete.

"Lenders have introduced innovative products like interest-only and option ARMs in recent times. Ultimately as the interest rate creeps up and home values stagnate, it will be these loans that will create default management problems," said Sarvesh Mahesh, CEO of Tavant. "To stay ahead of this emerging problem, servicers must fix the gaps in their existing servicing platforms. Tavant's capabilities in default management fill the technology void in the servicing landscape by enabling mortgage companies to fully automate their complex servicing processes and mitigate default risks."

For one major servicer, Tavant created the mortgage industry's most robust and scalable intelligent system, comprised of all the key pieces such as Loss Mitigation, Foreclose and Bankruptcy, REO and other shared services. As a result of implementing Tavant's Default Management capabilities, the servicer saw its quality rating improve as Moody's Investor Service credited the company's ability to prevent or mitigate losses "across changing markets." Moody's said that the lender's loss mitigation abilities were above average. Moreover, they noted that the servicer's REO was liquidated in an average of 141 days, which, excluding redemption, is "one of the shortest liquidation periods Moody's has observed."

Backed by the industry's largest pool of talented engineers in mortgage solutions, Tavant's Default Management capabilities are a series of modules and frameworks that can be rapidly deployed to develop applications that allow servicers to better manage their default portfolios:
  • Loss Mitigation - a wide portfolio of retention and disposition workouts scenarios including Reinstatements, Repayment Plans, Loan Mods, Full Payoffs, Short Sales/Payoffs, Deed-in-Lieu, Note Sales and Charge Offs as well as special requirements such as managing disaster moratoriums and Soldiers & Sailors.
  • Foreclosure and Bankruptcy - configurable and timeline management tools to organize foreclosure and bankruptcy tasks and schedules on a template-based fashion.
  • Real Estate Owned (REO) - encompasses Occupancy Information Status (OIS), listing price valuation tool, Marketing Plan, Evictions, Redemptions, Listing Agreement, Offer Management, and Fund Reconciliation.
  • Service Components - a framework to manage property services, credit services, document services, vendor services and other value-added services.
"Tavant's Default Management capabilities are flexible so that servicers can partner with Tavant to develop and implement default components and modules either one-at-a-time or as a comprehensive end-to-end suite," said Christoph Knoess: Former VP Mortgage & Financial Solutions of Tavant. "Our staff of 1,000 business consultants, analysts and engineers is focused on improving lending business processes through the use of technology, and we have 300 associates working on servicing and default management projects. This means that servicers can leverage the industry's most robust, scalable Default Management capabilities for increased productivity and reduction in human error."
