Linedata announced the release of a new version of Linedata Capitalstream for the finance teams of commercial banks, manufacturing captives and independent finance providers. This latest version delivers a stronger ROI, increases operational efficiencies, and improves competitive advantage by integrating new technologies that respond to evolving user expectations.

Industry analysts, client surveys and market assessments all highlight the immediate impact of increased regulatory scrutiny, emerging competition and the need to service clients more quickly. As a result, the cost of doing business is increasing and the market is showing less stability. These factors are shifting the lending and leasing market and changing business needs. Another key trend in the marketplace - leveraging technology to address business challenges – instead creates opportunity. In order for firms to stay competitive, it is critical that a loan and lease management solution takes advantage of new technologies and trends in digital banking.

Linedata Capitalstream’s new digital banking features provide the commercial lending and equipment finance industries with the solutions and decisioning tools required to quickly receive credit approval to be ahead of the curve in a very competitive market, and to support overall the growth of the credit business. As the connected device landscape continues to evolve, Linedata Capitalstream is at the forefront by addressing these needs now and in the future for their clients.

The Linedata Capitalstream mobile application allows users to effectively and efficiently access information using mobile devices which helps deals move seamlessly through the origination process from the field. In order to meet the need for streamlined and comprehensive operational and risk management throughout the lending and leasing life cycle, the platform supports automated integrations with numerous third-party systems and technology.

This release also introduces a new e-signature capability, in partnership with Silanis, one of the major global leaders. Linedata Capitalstream and Silanis directly integrate, exchanging borrower and document information at appropriate points in the origination process, in order to facilitate electronic signature with full audit trails, automated workflow integration and document storage.

The Business Intelligence (BI) Suite is a companion module that complements the Linedata Capitalstream origination and risk management platform, delivering “plug-and-play”, multi-dimensional business analytics structured around subject-specific data sets. It enables users to gain critical business insights, manage risk, meet regulatory requirements and optimize deal processing. Linedata Capitalstream delivers an expanded BI Suite that includes data sets for Loan Origination analysis, Portfolio Analysis and Workflow Analysis and rich tools for implementation, data ETL (extract, transformation and loading), historical data capture, and easy customization.

“As clients look at their overall business and identify how they will drive their growth in the future it is essential that we remain committed to providing new and compelling digital banking features in the Linedata Capitalstream platform to meet evolving user expectations,” remarks Bill Kramer, Senior Vice President of Product Management, Linedata Lending & Leasing North America. “By helping our clients increase their business value with new and improved digital features, as well as advanced analytics and reporting, we provide an end-to-end platform fully supported by Linedata’s knowledgeable  implementation specialists.
