January 1, 2011 / 2 min read

JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 21, 2005 — Sysdome, a leading provider of fraud-prevention and decision-support tools to the mortgage industry, has agreed to be acquired by ISO. The transaction, which requires shareholder approval, is expected to close within 30 days. Terms were not disclosed.

Based in Calabasas, Calif., Sysdome provides solutions to mortgage professionals to detect and identify mortgage-application and property fraud quickly and accurately, allowing lenders and mortgage investors to obtain lower costs and make more informed and reliable lending decisions.

Earlier this year, ISO acquired AppIntelligence, a Weldon Spring, Mo.–based provider of web-based analytic tools that also detect and identify fraud in the residential mortgage industry. The two entities will be combined into a new division called ISO Mortgage Analytics.

"With today's acquisition, ISO has enhanced its suite of state-of-the-art, best-of-breed technology solutions for the mortgage industry, and this positions us well to serve its future needs," said Scott Stephenson, ISO executive vice president. "The acquisition complements ISO's recognized expertise as the leading provider of world-class data, analytics and decision-support products for property and liability risks," Stephenson added.

Stephenson continued: "This will be a comfortable situation for customers of both companies because there will be no diminution in the support for the products of either company. Customers who have already implemented a solution from either company will find their investments are protected, and prospective customers will continue to have the same or enhanced choices available to them."

Stephenson further noted that ISO is committed to bringing its resources and proven expertise in data and analytics for developing new products and enhancing existing products to the new division.
