PR - eBureau and Latitude Partner on Collection Solution

eBureau, a provider of custom predictive scoring and information solutions, today announced a business and technology partnership with Latitude Software, a leading provider of collection software for credit grantors and debt recovery firms. Under the agreement, the firms have integrated eBureau’s powerful eScore and eLink services into Latitude Software products, in order to provide these capabilities to Latitude’s customer base of over 160 collection agencies, debt buyers, credit grantors, and legal firms throughout North America.

Both companies are exhibiting at the upcoming Debt Buyers Association (DBA) International Annual Convention, February 5-7, 2008, in Las Vegas, Nev.

Under the terms of the partnership, eBureau collaborated with Latitude Software’s development team to make its eScore and eLink information services available through Latitude’s highly-intuitive user interface. As a result, Latitude customers can easily and quickly employ powerful, custom-built “eScores” using their own account data or utilize pre-built, industry standard collection eScores. Additionally, with eBureau’s eLink information service, customers can easily update account contact information with new addresses and phone numbers, and screen accounts for bankruptcy and deceased.

“The partnership with Latitude Software enables eBureau to expand its presence in the market by making our eScore and eLink services available in conjunction with a very powerful collection software platform,” said Mark Doman, executive vice president of eBureau. “Latitude’s customers can now benefit from more predictive scores and information services that boost collection rates.”

“eBureau and their innovative offerings are a great fit for Latitude Software and our customers,” said Carl Harkelroad, founder, president, and chief executive officer of Latitude Software. “We are committed to developing agile, user-friendly software solutions that meet the needs of the debt recovery industry, and the addition of eScore and eLink to the Latitude suite of applications will enable our customers to more easily manage their account portfolios, boost productivity, and enhance profitability.”
