Stay Up to Date with Bradford Technologies' Industry Innovations

In our efforts to better serve you, Bradford Technologies will begin to send out more communications via "snail mail". Although email is a quick method of communicating our messages, it has also become somewhat less effective due to overzealous spam filters, outdated email addresses, etc.

Direct mail will help ensure that you keep informed about the latest Bradford Technologies development news as well as our special promotions. Be on the lookout for the many new and exciting products and services we plan to announce throughout the year.

Please give us a call at 800-622-8727 to ensure that we have your most current mailing address and contact details.

Apex v2 Will No Longer Integrate with ClickFORMS™

Last month we announced the strategic partnership between Bradford Technologies and Apex Software. As a result of the partnership, Apex has developed a new integration control that will solidify the integration between Apex Medina™ and ClickFORMS. Users on Apex Medina will experience a seamless and complete integration of the sketch image and calculations.

Due to Apex’s new integration control, starting with the May release, ClickFORMS™ will only integrate with Apex v3 and v4 (Medina). If you are using version 2.x of Apex, you must upgrade or switch to another supported sketcher such as AreaSketch. Version 3 will continue to be supported for a limited time only.

If you are using an earlier version of Apex, or if you are in the market for another sketching solution, now is the perfect time to upgrade to Apex Medina. Here are some advantages you will enjoy:

• Apex Medina is only a ONE-TIME FEE
• Start sketching immediately without having to learn new drawing techniques
• It seamlessly integrates with ALL form vendors
• It also works standalone for commercial or other jobs
• Medina stays registered, and you can transfer licenses online 24/7
• Apex Medina v4.1 opens all old Apex v2 & v3 files
• Has auto-save to avoid having to restart from scratch
• Schedule free online training to learn all of the new time-saving features quickly!

Now through 4/30/08, be on the lookout for special Apex Medina sales. Shop early for the best deals.

AMC Software Requirements and How to Stay Ahead of the Curve

Is your AMC telling you that you have to use specific software in order for them to work with you? This is where appraisers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you just give in and spend the extra money to work with that AMC? Are you going to receive enough orders from them to justify the expense? Nobody likes to be in this situation, but it’s a situation that many appraisers are faced with every day.

We would like to remind you that ClickFORMS integrates with both LightHouse™ and AppraisalPort™, the formats that the majority of AMCs require. And in the coming weeks, we will also integrate with RELS, the largest AMC in the country, via the MISMO XML open standard.

As a leader in real estate appraiser technologies, Bradford Technologies will always be on top of any change in industry standards to ensure that you have access to the latest requirements.
