MortgageStream has launched a new version of the lead management, point of sale and back office software.

This release is the 8th version and contains a host of new features and benefits to support brokerages. New Features include a customisable fact find and a new IDD wizard that can be used for Life & General Insurance Sales.

This is complemented by an expanded business register and MI reporting to reflect the latest requirements for FSA reporting around lending into requirement and sales without protection.

The new version features a revised Windows 7 themed layout to provide more intuitive screens and a brand new instant text message interface for instant communication from the office PC to the client’s mobile phone for updates and for mass text message shots.

The new version also includes full integration with the free “Open Office” software from Sun Microsystems enabling advisers and administrators to create MS Office compatible letters & mailshots and to produce financial spread sheet reporting from MortgageStream without having to purchase Microsoft Office products.

This is especially useful for larger brokerages using a server for remote access as they can now load the royalty free Open Office for their advisers to use with MortgageStream remotely instead of having to purchase expensive multiple MS Office licenses for their server or PCs. An enhanced Find facility has been added to make finding leads and cases even quicker.
