OAKS, CALIFORNIA — Eureka Electronic Publishing, Inc. (Eureka Publishing) today
announced that Stewart Title Guaranty Company of Houston, Texas has
launched it’s Virtual
Underwriter®
on the World Wide Web at http://www.vuwriter.com.
The Virtual
Underwriter is a tremendously successful breakthrough electronic
reference publication containing underwriting guidelines, state-by-state
business practices, forms and bulletins for title insurance and
conveyancing which adds quality and speed to the title insuring process. Eureka
Publishing worked with Landata Systems (a subsidiary of Stewart Title
Guaranty Company) to develop the look and feel as well as the automated
process to create more than 100,000 hypertext links in the Virtual
Underwriter.
The product replaces more than 1,500 forms and 700 bulletins that
would otherwise appear in more than 6,500 printed pages. Kevin
Thomas, Chief Legal Counsel for The Alliance Group stated: “The Virtual
Underwriter is the unquestionable state-of-the-art product for
providing underwriting information. There’s
nothing comparable in the marketplace anywhere that combines the breadth
of the information and the extreme ease of use.” “By
making the Virtual
Underwriter available on the Web, we are making it easier for our
customers to access the information that assists them in closing their
transactions quicker. This
provides a competitive edge for both our customers and for Stewart Title
Guaranty Company,” said Mike Skalka, Senior Vice President and General
Counsel at Stewart Title Guaranty Company. “We
are pleased to have helped Stewart Title make the Virtual
Underwriter available on the Internet.
The Virtual
Underwriter has provided benefits to its users in its CD-ROM format
and now the Internet version will provide additional value by being
available on the World Wide Web,” said Mark Mathias, president of Eureka
Publishing. Before
its Web debut, the Virtual
Underwriter on CD-ROM won industry-specific awards such as the
“Best Policies/Procedures Infobase” award from Folio Corporation
(1995), the International Association of Business Communicators (Houston)
Bronze Quill award (1996) and the TitleTech ’96 Discovery award (1997).
Stewart Title and Eureka Publishing continue to work together to ensure
that the Virtual
Underwriter advances to evolve and increase underwriting
productivity. For more information please contact Eureka Electronic Publishing, Inc., Post Office Box 57349, Sherman Oaks, California 91413-2349, tel 818/789-0269, fax 818/789-2647, email: info@eurekapub.com, World Wide Web: http://www.eurekapub.com. # # #
