Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, May 28, 2003 - PaperClip Incorporated., a leading provider of mission-critical communications software and services for businesses and government organizations using the Internet, announced today that Appraisal.com, Buffalo, New York, the nation's leading provider of real estate appraisal software and services, has chosen PaperClip's BlueApp service for capture and secure delivery of appraiser field notes.
Appraisal.com will use the PaperClip BlueApp Service to capture appraiser field notes the traditional way using “pen and paper” and have the results back at the appraiser’s office before the appraiser leaves the property. By using the PaperClip BlueApp Service to capture appraisals, Appraisal.com will greatly reduce the time and effort required by appraisers to collect data and sketches on any given property.
“PaperClip’s BlueApp Service is the first offering which combines pen & paper-based capture with authenticated-secure delivery,” said Mark Yellen, CEO of Appraisal.com. “This new application, which doesn’t require any special training, gives appraisers a much better way t o collect their field data… the appraiser just writes his notes on his clipboard and they are turned into computer data and transmitted back to the appraiser’s home office,” Mr. Yellen continued.
