Title Alliance, a firm that creates title joint ventures with lenders, mortgage bankers, Realtors, builders and credit unions, has launched a cloud-based portal designed to streamline communication within its family of 40 companies as well as with its 85 joint venture partners.

The Media, Pa.-based firm works with partners to set up in-house title and settlement operations, also known as title affiliated business arrangements, that it says comply with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Title Alliance trains each partner’s staff, provides administrative assistance, and designs and monitors the joint venture’s sales and marketing.

The new cloud-based portal will improve customer service and internal communications, Title Alliance said.

“The genesis of the portal is to administer the flow of information around our unified company as well as report on active financials within our joint ventures,” said Jim Campbell, a partner of Title Alliance, in a statement.

“It is not only an exciting time for our company internally, as this portal will greatly help us grow, but we know this will be transparent to our new and existing partnerships as we continue to work with them.”

The portal offers sales management resources and Web tools for corporate staff, joint venture employees and joint venture partners, as well as access to financial statements, best-practice licensing and underwriting guides and templates, and training videos, the company said.

Joint venture partners can use the portal to review financial statements, progress reports, monthly and quarterly meeting agendas and minutes, finalized budgets, and office marketing plans. Title Alliance’s managers and employees will also be able to manage Web content such as location information, news and event announcements, and public documents.
