Lender Processing Services, Inc.’s SoftPro Division Introduces Comprehensive Backup Solution

January 1, 2009

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Lender Processing Services, Inc. (NYSE:LPS), a leading provider of integrated technology and services to the mortgage and real estate industries, today announced that its SoftPro division has introduced a fully automated remote Backup Service designed to help companies protect themselves from unexpected loss of critical business data — a completely preventable problem that affects thousands of companies and costs millions of dollars each year.

"Studies show that nearly half of the companies that lose their data in a disaster never reopen," says Joyce Weiland, chief operating officer of SoftPro in making the announcement. “You can insure your computers and get them replaced, but what about all the mission-critical data that resided on those systems?”

SoftPro’s Backup Service is a managed solution, different from other online backup programs, in that it is configured, installed and monitored by SoftPro’s backup specialists. They test and validate each backup to ensure the integrity of every transmission and will personally assist subscribers in recovering data should any disaster occur.

With SoftPro’s Backup Service, all data is fully encrypted and compressed before leaving a subscriber’s server or network for transmission to SoftPro’s secure, temperature-controlled data center — where a window of 60 days worth of backups will be stored. Daily emails alert subscribers about the status of the prior day’s backup.

“It’s an automated process that occurs at a specified time each day,” explains Weiland. “There’s virtually nothing for the user to do except contact us if, for any reason, they need their data restored.”

p>During the recovery process, SoftPro staff can help reinstall SoftPro, if needed, recover all SoftPro and non-SoftPro data and reconfigure it for a temporary location until a permanent location is established. The goal is to get a company up and running as soon as possible after a data loss occurs.

Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, LPS' SoftPro is the nation's leading provider of closing and title software solutions. SoftPro has over 13,000 customer sites and more than 50,000 users nationwide, in all 50 states and offers a full suite of cutting edge solutions that streamline the closing process.
