Immediate operational benefits to

E-FILING UCC filings, public record search

and retrieval.

Client Profile
A nationwide provider of government
compliance filing and search services with
offices in more than 50 US cities. They are
one of the largest and oldest regulatory
compliance UCC filers in the industry. Their
services include public record searches,
UCC filings, flood zone searches & filing,
mortgage filings and document retrieval
services. These services are delivered
through a combination of web based
applications and local field offices.
Its client base primarily consists of
financial institutions including banks,
leasing companies, commercial finance
organizations, corporate credit
management companies and title
companies. The client delivers business
value to its customers by automating
their government compliance filing
and due diligence search processes.

E-Filing (Electronic UCC Filing)

The clients business technology platform represents the most robust national resource
uniquely dedicated to the needs of the lending and leasing industries. It is also constantly
developing ways to improve efficiency in the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) handling, as
it relates to UCC filings, public record search as well as retrieval and portfolio management.
The client supports UCC submissions using XML and WEB based technologies.
E-FILING
Business Challenges
The client had grown inorganically in eFiling submission space. Multiple platforms and multiple
applications were used to support Web and XML submissions. Moreover, technologies used
(XML with VB 6.0 and WebFiling with text file based approach) were unable to support
increasing volumes and the required turnaround time. The clients eFiling system did not have
built-in fail-safe mechanism to avoid duplication of filings, methods to discover reasons for
failure and the current status of any particular filing. Huge increase in eFiling support by many
US/Canadian states (19-Web, 7-XML) forced the client to increase support for them to remain
competitive in the market. The existing solutions were time-consuming, error prone and costing
a negative business impact, due to the client switching to another provider.

T/DG presented architectural solutions for this E-Filing system. Impressed with the possibilities,
T/DG was invited to redesign the E-Filing system for its proven strengths in executing
end-to-end projects and strong project management expertise.

T/DG Solutions
T/DG solved the problem in two parts by re-engineering a uniform business process to be
used by all the Web/XML/e-Recordation [real estate filings] submissions and then building an
application that would support the new process. A dedicated team of business experts, domain
consultants and technical architects worked with the client to capture the as-is process and pain
points. They also gathered scalability and performance requirements for the proposed design.

The new design provided two distinct components for:

1. Common State Engine

For the ease of additions of new state support

Common platform to support XML, WEB and e-Recordation

Scalability - support submission of 10,000+ filings each day for each state, 7 days a week

Reliability - no manual intervention, reboot to servers

2. State specific configurable workflows

Parallel and multiple orders submission support to individual states

Accurate status tracking of each individual order in the E-Filing system

No duplication of filing

Benefits
It is estimated that the Return on Investment for the application will be realized in less than
1.5 years. This will be achieved by:

Increased submission volume directly generated more revenue

Ease of addition of e-Recordation created new revenue stream

Development for new state support time was reduced from 6 months to 3 months

Reduced license and technology replacement costs by retiring a multitude of legacy

[BizTalk Server 2000, VB 6.0 code]

Improved turn-around time through improved reliability and quality of service

Reduced support costs required by the architecture supported on .NET 3.5

Immediate operational benefits to the customer

Faster and accurate submissions

Submission volume increased to 10,000 filings in 5hrs and system uptime 24x7

Increased customer satisfaction for the client

Manual operations teams time was reduced by half due to detailed order level status
availability and volume supported

Windows workflow based architecture, highly scalable and reliable

Technologies Used
Net 3.5, Windows Workflow, ASP.NET, C#

Web services, Windows Services, AJAX, JavaScript, XSLT.

I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am of your accomplishment.
