MISMO’s eVault System Certification covers SmartSAFE®, DocMagic’s core eVault for managing eNote workflows and MERS® eRegistry activity, and SmartSAFE XL™, an API-first eVault designed for enterprise environments that require flexible deployments and support for a broader range of digital assets.

There was a time when people swore the earth was flat and despite Aristotle’s proclamations to the contrary, it wasn’t until 1522 when Ferdinand Magellan proved them wrong. I use this example today as most traditional “Doc Prep” systems still produce static, flat file dumb PDF’s and then use OCR scanning to get to the data. Even with the advent of AI, if you’re still using dumb PDF’s to extract unstructured and non-standard data from them you are going to get totally different and varying results across systems as there is no consistency or uniformity in the data format or how it gets defined (descriptions) and interpreted.

DocMagic launched DocMagic® One, a new platform for lenders that eliminates the inefficiencies of juggling multiple systems by bringing every critical loan manufacturing step into a single, intuitive platform. Document preparation, compliance checks, collaboration between borrowers, title agents and settlement agents, and closing coordination all happen in one place. Role-based permissions and organizational hierarchies keep tasks moving without bottlenecks.
