On September 1, Calyx Software will issue an I-Update that automatically updates the interfaces in Point (version 4.4 and higher). The update installs automatically and adds new vendors to the Services in Point and Preferred Point Partners menus. The I-Update also updates existing interfaces as needed.
The update process applies to the Services and Interfaces menus only-no personal information is collected and no modifications are made to any other portions of your Point software. Sometime during the first two weeks of September, after you open your software and are connected to the Internet, Point will automatically receive and install the I-Update. This update adds the following companies to your Point menus:
New in Services Menu
· LandAmerica
New in Interfaces Menu
· Appraisal Resources,
Inc.
· Equity Title & Closing
· Liberty Title & Escrow
Company
· SierraCRM, LLC
· Ticor Title
New Category: Down Payment Assistance
· Alliance Assistance
· AmeriDream, Inc.
· Nehemiah Corporation of
America
· PreferredProgram
· Neighborhood Gold
