Welcium opts for Aia Software's ITP Document Platform

Aia Software’s successful ITP Document Platform - Correspondence Solution has been chosen by Welcium Mortgage Services, a 100% subsidiary of Welke Beheer. Welcium, a financial services company operating in the mortgage sector, now has a flexible platform – with ITP at its core – to create customized documents. ITP enhances document composition capabilities and also enables Welcium to generate documents for each ‘label’ in a chosen house style.
 
Personalized customer communications play a vital role in Welcium’s services. Aia Software's ITP solution has been integrated with mid-office applications from Topicus Finance in order to enable quick and easy personalized customer communications. This combined solution enables seamless integration with existing CRM systems and the mortgage back office. Topicus, a supplier of ASP applications for the financial sector, deploys its proprietary FORCE framework for use in the mortgage sector. Use is made of both internal and external applications to provide web-based solutions to achieve fully integrated process chains.

"We focus on relieving mortgage providers' front, mid and back-office burdens," says Martin Keegstra, Welke Beheer Director. "Our strength lies in the ability to provide significant added value. We ensure rapid delivery and monitoring of the entire mortgage process from quotation to execution, administration, amendment and collection. Aia Software's ITP Document Platform guarantees flexible and efficient communications between our customers, thus strengthening our competitive advantage significantly." 

Topicus Director Henk Jan Knol adds, "The link between ITP and Topicus financial applications means that Welcium will be able to meet their customers' requirements by adopting a process-chain approach." By jointly supporting multiple partners from within a single financial services process chain in a unified web-based application, a common workspace can be created in which flexibility and efficiency are greatly enhanced. 

"We are very pleased that Welcium – an important player in the mortgage market – has chosen the ITP Document Platform," says Aia Software’s CEO Paul Dirven. "We believe that it is crucial to help organizations operate more efficiently and effectively. If responsibilities can be apportioned correctly within an organization, then it can actually respond more quickly to market changes."
