As a loan servicer, Marix is employed by mortgage insurers and investors to save the value in their mortgage investments. To do that, Marix's highly trained experts work directly with homeowners to help them save their mortgages through a range of financial options, including refinancing, short sale arrangements and other workout plans. Everyone benefits, especially the homeowner, when a mortgage can be kept from foreclosure. With time as its enemy, Marix turned to Logicalis, an international provider of high-performance technology, to help develop the software application necessary to quickly initiate loss mitigation procedures that could keep homeowners in their homes. Find out how Logicalis was able to quickly develop the necessary loss mitigation application for Marix Servicing. Visit Logicalis at http://www.us.logicalis.com/custexp_marix_outreach.htm. Logicalis worked as an extension of the Marix team to quickly develop the Marix Borrower Outreach (MBO) application. The MBO program responds to the very specific needs of two distinct sets of Marix clients: Mortgage insurance companies that are liable for claims on defaulted mortgages, and mortgage investors who buy large blocks of mortgages. The key for both clients is the ability to begin direct communication with individual borrowers as soon as possible, to initiate loss mitigation procedures before their mortgages reach a tipping point that almost always ends in foreclosure. And Marix doesn't just rely on technology to get that information. If calls and letters don't establish a meaningful dialog with the homeowner, a Marix loan expert will make house calls. By accelerating the collection of critical data, the Marix Borrower Outreach program allows Marix to begin contacting homeowners as soon as a minimal amount of information is available. The MBO program provides access to data including property information, payment history and the real-time status of the mortgage at the critical time when loans are transferred from other servicers, when problems often occur. "Logicalis has been very good at understanding the business needs and bringing that to bear on what we are trying to accomplish," Paton says. "They do a good job of retaining that information, too," he adds. "We've done several projects with them, and they never have to start over from scratch.

Since "necessity is the mother of invention," the Prostate Cradle was invented by a Certified Massage Therapist, Adam McVay, who was inflicted with prostate health challenges. His doctors recommended prostate massage therapy. However, at the time the only prostate massagers available were invasive, requiring uncomfortable rectum insertion.

The "global business environment reflects the era of The Agile Imperative where best practices yield to next practices as we discover how to effectively adapt and thrive in this real-time, fast-paced and ever-changing world." Agility is defined as an organization's ability to anticipate, adapt and react decisively to events in the business environment. The Agile Imperative provides a roadmap for the strategies and actions that can help you in navigating your journey through turbulent waters as a business owner or enterprise executive. The roadmap is built around the five core drivers of strategic agility embodied in the AGILE Model from Agility Consulting and Training, LLC and endorsed by the American Management Association (AMA). The five drivers of an agile individual, team or organization include the ability and processes to anticipate change, generate confidence, initiate action, liberate thinking and evaluate results. Without all five drivers, you cannot attain and sustain agility. You will improve your capability for anticipating the turbulence that rocks your world by mapping your forces of change, taking inventory on the trends happening and understanding how those trends affect you and your organization. Are you ready? Is your organization as ready as it needs to be to face the uncertainty of the future?
