FiLogix Creates Link to emili^®

August 15, 2001 — FiLogix Inc. announced today that it has enhanced its ECNI broker interface to create improved efficiencies, including a new link to emili^®, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) online risk assessment and processing platform.

The link to emili^® is through ECNI and the LSS broker interface, which has been linked to emili^® since 1998. The link is transparent to brokers using ECNI and gives them the ability to send mortgage applications and receive commitments without additional steps. ECNI applications are seamlessly reformatted and presented to lenders in the LSS environment, allowing lenders to consolidate the flow of the two origination systems on one standard platform.

Lenders may now send applications originating on ECNI to CMHC's emili^® through the LSS gateway, saving significant time for all involved.

"We are pleased that mortgages originating on ECNI can now be directed to emili^® with ease. This linkage to emili^® further increases the number of ways a homebuyer's application can reach emili^®, which provides mortgage insurance approvals in seconds," said Sharon Matthews, CMHC's Director of Product and Technology Development.

"FiLogix is excited to be able to take different platforms and streamline them to feed into emili ^® for the benefit of mortgage lenders and customers," said David Chapman, Executive Vice President, Strategic Initiatives for FiLogix.
