JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions, a division of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS), today announced a strategic agreement with RE FormsNet(R), LLC, a joint venture between the National Association of REALTORS(R) and Real Estate Business Services, Inc. (REBS), a subsidiary of the California Association of REALTORS(R) (C.A.R.). As part of this new agreement, direct integrations between Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions' transaction management technology offerings and RE FormsNet's(R) ZipForm(R) and WINForms(R) real estate forms applications will be facilitated. This integration will allow real estate professionals to minimize key strokes by transferring or copying data from their ZipForm(R) and WINForms(R) listing or sales contract form to Fidelity's TransactionPoint(R) transaction management platform, where key events, service orders and documents related to a real estate transaction may be created, viewed and tracked. MLS and forms integration facilitates the seamless flow of information, which reduces transaction cycle time, as well as the possibility of errors associated with re-keying data between different systems. Customer service levels and communication are also enhanced, benefiting all real estate transaction participants by allowing the forms to be stored electronically for all parties in the transaction to access. Both Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions and RE FormsNet(R) believe the integration with TransactionPoint(R) and the ZipForm(R) and WINForms(R) applications will create a more efficient workflow for their mutual clients. "We are excited about teaming up with Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions and our plans to enable seamless data flow from our applications to Fidelity's transaction management platform," said Robert Bailey, Chairman of the Board of RE FormsNet(R). "This data flow will surely create greater efficiencies for our mutual clients, ultimately resulting in reduced risk and expenses."
