Decade, Equix Form Alliance

Decade Systems Corp., Jacksonville, Fla., and Equix Financial Services, Menomonee Falls, Wis., have announced an alliance under which they will offer mortgage lenders a "rapid, cost-effective" integration system for leveraging Equix's origination and fulfillment capabilities.Equix recently implemented Decade's Total Enterprise Data Integration technology within its system architecture, and this coincided with the launch of an origination call center designed to support a top mortgage lender, the companies said. The technology includes "an extensive library of reusable integration adapters" to popular mortgage systems, enabling Equix clients to send application information and receive data for their existing systems using data files that comply with standards set by the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization, they said. "By partnering with Decade, our lender clients are able to realize the benefits of outsourced origination and fulfillment quickly and efficiently, with minimal impact to their internal resources," said Chris Hayward, chief operating officer of Equix.
