Calyx Point mortgage software can be installed either directly on a machine or run from a data server. There are many benefits of moving to a server software-as-a-service plan for loan companies of all sizes.

Point takes about 2 weeks to set up and run on all of the computers in a mid-sized loan company, but the data server can be up in a matter of days. Moving to a server-based approach still retains all of the functions of the computer install, but gives added options for expandability and remote access.

Point Data Servers Provide Flexibility

Working with a Calyx Point data server means that users can log in from any secure network location. This means that out-of-office assignments can still be directly entered into the company's client database. Accounts can be managed so that only employees with the proper authorization can access or change specific information that may be confidential.

The point data server approach is also known as software-as-a-service (Saas). Companies pay a monthly fee for account access and software licenses, and the company that runs the server takes care of the rest. Saas also includes full software support so mortgage companies have a greater understanding of their annual IT costs.
