SoftPro and hal Systems  Partner
To Offer Document Imaging Solutions

Raleigh, NC – SoftPro Corporation, www.softprocorp.com, has partnered with hal Systems Corporation to offer a document imaging solution to the over 5,600 firms currently using SoftPro’s flagship product, ProForm.

ProForm, SoftPro’s closing and title automation program, is now integrated with hal Systems’ halFILE, empowering SoftPro’s users to move to a "paperless" office more easily than ever before. Users can quickly access stored documents through many customizable search fields. Images can be introduced into the halFILE system via scanned paper or special print-to-image technology within ProForm. halFILE retrieves index data for each image from the corresponding ProForm file, eliminating the time and re-entry of data found with other systems. With title plant and policy files archived electronically, SoftPro users can provide fast document retrieval for enhanced customer service.

According to Margaret Crumpler, Director of Research and Development at SoftPro, customers will rapidly benefit from the new partnership. "SoftPro has long wanted to add a document imaging program to our current suite of products. Rather than spending development time to ‘reinvent the wheel’, we realized that partnering with a leader of document management software could more quickly provide our customers with a proven solution and better serve their needs."

SoftPro Corporation offers a complete library of programs for automating the closing and title process. The company also provides modules for order tracking and management, trust account management and reconciliation, custom forms design, 1099-S magnetic media reporting, title plant indexing and amortization schedules. For more information regarding SoftPro’s products and services, including Web site hosting and design, call SoftPro Sales at 800-848-0143.
