eMagic Vendor of the Month
Fast, reliable flood hazard information is essential to appraising, closing and servicing property loans. However, at the same time, the challenges of keeping up with complex, and constantly shifting compliance regulations can leave you vulnerable to unnecessary risk and liability.

Flood Services guard you from unnecessary risks by giving thorough, accurate flood data in real time, based on the highest level of automation in the industry. FIS is the first company to fully utilize a complete set of actual FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps. FIS Data Services is one of the many vendors available on eMagic. Flood services are a great feature available through FIS.

Making Resolutions Business Revolutions

It's a new year! Time to make those resolutions and inevitably ask yourself, "Why is it so hard to keep these promises?" If we saw results right away, we'd probably stick to our resolutions and not let that new exercise machine become an expensive place to hang clothes.

In the last edition of News & Views, our survey asked about your resolutions for 2008. After seeing your feedback, we believe eMagic and Trio might help you keep a few of them and see results sooner than you think.
