"Industry Veterans
Select Latitude Software”
October 10, 2006
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
– Collection industry veterans Bret Crandall and John McNamara, of
Fidelis Recovery Solutions, Inc., announced today they have chosen
Latitude Software, the industry’s leader in providing software and
services to the debt collection and recovery industry, as their
company’s preferred software vendor.
“In an industry
where 80-percent annual employee turnover is a good number, you had
better have a collection system that is intuitive and easy to learn,”
McNamara said. “Latitude is such a system. If trainees have ever been
on the Internet, they can almost teach themselves Latitude in about
30 minutes. With 25 years in the industry, I’ve seen really great
systems and really bad ones. The bad ones were designed for another
purpose and try to masquerade as a collection system. The good ones
were designed from the ground up to support the core function of
collections.”
This partnership
adds to the growing base of Latitude customers, and it will help
Fidelis become more efficient toward its debt recovery workload, said
Carl Harkleroad, president of Latitude Software.
“We are pleased to
have clients like Bret and John who have many years of industry
experience select Latitude Software,” Harkleroad said. “They both
understand the increased client pressures of data encryption,
heightened security and real-time data exchange that require
cutting-edge software technologies to allow them to respond to these
pressures.”
