IMS Reports Continued Growth, Industry Awards and Accolades in 2009

 

Integrated Mortgage Solutions (IMS), a collateral protection resource for the mortgage servicing industry, reported three-year sales growth of 597.9 percent in 2009, as well as several industry awards.                                     

As part of its dedication to process improvement and compliance, IMS received SAS 70 Type II certification from Alpharetta, Ga.-based CPA company Bambeck & O’Connor LLP for an in depth audit of control objectives and activities throughout the organization. SAS 70 is the authoritative guidance that allows service organizations to disclose their control activities and processes to their customers and their customers' auditors in a uniform reporting format.

To accommodate the continuous growth the company has experienced, IMS added Karen Binder as assistant vice president of Marketing and Special Projects.

Binder is responsible for the development and maintenance of marketing strategies, the effective management of advertising and promotional activities and the RFP protocol process.    

In 2009, IMS was ranked by Inc. magazine as No. 434 on its 28th annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.  IMS was also recognized by Mortgage Technology Magazine as a Top 50 Service Provider and was the only collateral protection resource company to appear on the 2009 list. For the second consecutive year, IMS was recognized by Houston Business Journal as one of Houston’s fastest growing woman-owned businesses. IMS is a long-standing Women’s Business Enterprise as certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise Alliance, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). IMS is the only woman-owned and operated business that offers a full suite of loss mitigation and asset management services.

“Our commitment to exceptional client service spurred our staff increase and industry certifications in 2009,” said Cheryl Lang, president and chief executive officer of IMS. “IMS is honored to be recognized by our industry peers and will continue to provide servicers with solutions that help them reduce the numbers of foreclosures and keep borrowers in their homes. In working closely with servicers, IMS aims to help stabilize the housing industry by providing tools that deliver efficiency to the loan modification process.”
