GatorSystems, a Pittsburgh-based unit of Fiserv Lending Solutions, has announced the introduction of GatorSearch, a Web-based abstracting platform designed to streamline the title examination process.The company said the system, developed in collaboration with New York-based Realty Data Corp., enables users to execute self-service title searches, thereby reducing the turnaround time associated with traditional abstracting. Those who don't choose to run reports from their own computers can use the system's Examination Network, a team of professional abstractors able to return a comprehensive report within eight hours of receiving the order, according to GatorSystems. "GatorSearch fundamentally changes the way title companies and vendor management companies can do business," said Christopher Behning, senior vice president and chief technology officer at General American Corp., of which GatorSystems is a division.
