Astera Launches Loan Acquisition Product
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Feb. 8 / -- Astera Software (www.astera.com), the leading supplier of software and services for the secondary mortgage markets, announces the launch of Astera Loan Acquisition Manager (ALM) 2.5, a procurement product for the acquisition of whole loan pools and servicing rights.
ALM 2.5, which will be released in April 2006, allows buyers of loans to analyze incoming loan data, to price and adjust pricing of loans, and to make bids in minutes, facilitating a prompt response and quick turn around. In addition to calculating alternative prices, such as those of their competitors, ALM can also give buyers an edge over other purchasers on price, as well as quickness of response.
ALM's powerful data transfer utility can also be used by servicing acquisition groups to crack purchase tapes from multiple brokers and sellers as well as validate, transform and map data to mortgage servicing and financial systems, ensuring high levels of data integrity and automation of many manual tasks.
According to Ibrahim Surani, President of Astera Software, "ALM is a natural evolution from Astera Secondary Manager, ASM, our sell-side product that is being used by leading mortgage bankers to optimize and price pools of loans for sale. We have already seen a demand from the buy-side community that requires the same level of sophistication and automations that the secondary marketing departments, who are using ASM, are benefiting from."
