Title Companies of Brazos County Share Resources
and Cut Expenses
Take Off Inc., a joint venture of American Land Title of Brazos County
and Lawyers Title of Brazos County, has provided savings and other benefits
to its parent companies. Take Off Inc. is owned by both title companies
and is comprised of just two employees who office in the Brazos County
courthouse. By jointly funding Take Off Inc., the two title companies
are each able to save roughly $1500.00 every month and are able to take
advantages of added security and support that they provide each other.
Take Off Inc. is responsible for the document scanning and plant data
entry for both companies. The images are scanned in to the system at the
courthouse using Complete Image from RamQuest Software. The images are
then imported to a removable hard drive in the computer located at the
courthouse. Plant data entry is handled in the same manner. The information
is entered into the Complete Plant Program and saved to the same removable
hard drive. That hard drive is then removed, placed in its carrier, and
transported to one of the two title companies. There, the hard drive is
installed and the images and plant data is downloaded into the system.
The plant data becomes part of the electronic plant, managed by Complete
Plant. The images can now be retrieved through Complete Image or can be
used as a source for entry of plant data, thanks to RamQuest’s fully
integrated systems. The same process is repeated at the other company.
Aside from the cost cutting advantages of Take Off Inc., American Land
Title and Lawyers Title receive the benefits of extra security and support.
Natural disasters, prolonged power outages, and user error can cause loss
of data in all information systems. In addition to the backups implemented
by RamQuest, American Land and Lawyers have each other to fall back on.
If images get lost or destroyed at one site, a copy can be made and sent
to the other with very little time or effort.
The two title companies welcome the benefits provided by Take Off Inc.
and RamQuest Software with open arms. And since these benefits are such
valuable tools in competing in the land title industry, Take Off Inc,
and RamQuest Software will likely remain in the Brazos County for some
time to come.
