Becoming a Simplifile Alliance Partner
Becoming part of the Simplifile eRecording Alliance Partner Program consists of establishing a contractual relationship that enables us to securely and profitably integrate our systems and then cooperatively market those systems to our mutual customers.

Simplifile partners with Land Record Management System (LRMS) vendors serving county recorders and registers of deeds (receivers), and document preparation and closing systems vendors serving title companies, lenders, and attorneys (submitters). Regardless of your business focus—receivers or submitters—by joining the network you realize a number of immediate and long-term benefits, such as . . .

• Recurring revenue. You may be eligible to receive a share of the filing or eRecording fees Simplifile collects when Simplifile submitters successfully record documents with your county customers.

• eRecording volume. As an LRMS vendor, the success of the eRecording services you offer your county customers will depend in large measure on how quickly and effectively you can convert manual filings for electronic recording. Simplifile is the undisputed leader at rapidly generating eRecording volume—in excess of 50 percent of total recordings in some counties. And if you are a document preparation or closing systems vendor, eRecording volume means that we can enable our mutual customers to batch file any number of documents with nothing more than a simple mouse click.

• eRecording reach. As a document preparation or closing systems vendor, you likely service clients who regularly file documents in recording jurisdictions across the United States. By joining the Simplifile eRecording network, you provide your clients with access to the nation’s most expansive eRecording network. New counties are always being added to the network. And as an LRMS vendor, Simplifile’s reach means that your county customers join not just a state or regional portal, but a nationwide eRecording portal or—as we like to call it—network.

• Focus. Focus. Focus. By partnering with Simplifile, your resources remain singularly focused on what you do best. Simplifile complements your core competencies by doing what we do best—expanding our county footprint, recruiting submitters, and providing both submitters and receivers with industry-leading eRecording services.

• Satisfied customers. Because you operate in a very competitive industry, satisfied customers are your best protection against customer defection and best lever into new account growth. Counties in which Simplifile provides eRecording services to their constituents are extremely satisfied with the quality of those services and the volume of electronic filings. And our submitter customers report our service to be the most intuitive and best supported.

• Dedicated account management. As a member of the network, Simplifile will dedicate professional partner resources to efficiently plan and carry out systems integrations, cooperatively promote eRecording services, and otherwise address the needs of our mutual customers. And Simplifile will keep you in the loop and consult with you on eRecording business and technology issues.

• The network. Bottom line: by joining the network, you and your customers become part of an expanding eRecording network that enables your customers’ customers—in many cases those responsible for keeping recorders and registers in public office—to easily and cost-effectively record documents in counties nationwide.

If you are thinking about developing, marketing, and supporting your own eRecording system or if you’ve already headed down that path, we suggest that you reconsider the economic and business implications of diversifying your business focus. By offloading the cost of systems development and submitter recruitment, and by sharing in the volumes generated by Simplifile, we’re willing to bet that you will be net ahead by joining Simplifile’s eRecording network.
