Last month we were excited to introduce Path™ to the market at MBA Tech in Florida.  We held special showings to demonstrate its capabilities and unique functionality to lenders at the conference.

Path is our newest cloud based platform designed for retail and wholesale lenders.  Its configurable architecture is unique to the market and we’re thrilled to offer this much-needed feature in Path.

Path does not replace Point® or PointCentral®. We’re proud that Point has served our loyal customers for over 20 years and will continue to support them with the features and functions that they require as the industry evolves.

Path was designed specifically for the needs of lenders and will import both Point files and Fannie Mae 3.2 files for processing. The pipeline view for each user is configured by role, so users only see what they need to see to do their job. Here are just a few more of the features in Path:

  • A unique role-based workflow
  • 100% web-based accessibility that runs on the most-popular browsers (Google Chrome™ Safari®, Firefox®, Internet Explorer®, etc.)
  • Customer-owned and controlled data on the Microsoft Azure™ cloud platform
  • Configurable operating units  user groups that mirror each client’s organizational structure

Find out if Path is right for you.  See more at www.calyxsoftware.com or call your account manager at 800-362-2599 for details.

This version works exclusively with Point and PointCentral 8.1 to give you access to credit interfaces so you can run credit requests from your phone.

We released version 8.1 this morning!  It’s available to MyCalyx admins to download.

With 8.1, we have revamped a lot of the calculations that make your loan processes efficient and compliant. We made quite a few updates to the software to help you close more loans faster.  You can learn details about Point and PointCentral 8.1 here.

If you have mobile apps, you will find that when we release Point Mobile 2.0 next month, you’ll be able to pull credit from your phone.  Point 8.1 makes that possible.**

You may have heard the buzz about the impending launch of Path™, but did you know that we’re releasing the latest version of your favorites, Point® and PointCentral®, in just a few days?

That’s right!  8.1 will be available for download via MyCalyx.com on Tuesday, April 30th.

This release contains the calculation and screen updates that you’ve been waiting for.  You’ll see improved fields and calculations in the Fees Worksheet, TIL, and the USDA screen.  There are quite a few more changes included that you will appreciate, but the icing on the cake is that 8.1 accommodates credit requests initiated from Point Mobile 2.0.  

Point Mobile 2.0 is scheduled for release in just a few weeks and with it, you’ll not only be able to enter initial borrower information via your Smartphone, you’ll also be able to run credit.  8.1 is the release that makes it all possible.

Get 8.1 on launch day!  Call your account manager at 800-362-2599 if you need to update your account or would like more information about our upcoming releases!

Administrators please note you will need Microsoft .Net 4 framework prior to installing 8.1.


Let’s go to MBA Tech!

I can’t say enough about how excited I am that we’re going to have the opportunity to demo Path™ at next week’s MBA Tech conference in Hollywood, Florida!

The weather is going to be warm so if you’re ready for a change from winter, come down to sunny Florida.  If you’ve got PointCentral® or Point Mobile, you can access your pipeline from anywhere so you don’t have to stay in the office when warmth and sunshine is calling your name.

We’re offering demos inside the Westin Diplomat, which is the host hotel, but you don’t have to attend the conference to participate.  Just call 214-252-5684 and I’ll reserve you a spot in one of our scheduled showings.

Customers who have seen it so far love it and we know you will too.  Path is 100% web based so it works on all your most popular browsers, including Apple’s Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

Plus, if you haven’t seen the latest features of LoanScoreCard™, you can reserve a spot for a LoanScoreCard demo too.

I look forward to seeing you there!  Remember to call me at 214-252-5684 to schedule your demos during MBA Tech April 14-16!

We’re busily working on Point® and PointCentral® 8.1 as well as updates to Mobile Apps and WebCaster®!

You are going to love 8.1 because we’ve made improving software functionality goal #1.  That means you’re going to experience better calculations to help with compliance on several screens.  We’ve also made it easier for you to submit your loans to Freddie Mac and added a new company to the Fannie Mae interface.

And, last but certainly not least, Point and PointCentral 8.1 will work with Calyx Mobile™ 2.0 when credit interfaces are enabled.  That’s right—you only have to wait a few more weeks to start taking credit requests on your mobile phones!  Soon after that you’ll see an update to WebCaster.

Spring is definitely in bloom at Calyx.  Don’t miss these updates!

Mobile Apps are coming!

November 7, 2012

BJ Bounds

Calyx Mobile is almost here! In just a couple of weeks, you’ll be among the first to have functional mobile apps for your Point software!  All you need is an iPhone or an Android smartphone!

You’ll be able to start initial applications, check status of individual loans, or even view your entire pipeline—all from your smartphone.  It’s secure and no data is stored on the phone so you don’t have to worry too much if you drop your phone into the lake while you’re fishing!

We’re excited about it and we’re pretty sure you are too.  But it made me think about just how much I use my phone every day.  I’m sure I only use a fraction of the functionality I have available on my phone but it’s still more than just a phone.

So here’s my question to you:


Point & PointCentral 8.0 Coming Soon!
