participation can make or break any initiative. I am happy to
report that all indications show that LIXI will make it! Our
recent General Meeting [GM] in Melbourne was a show of dedication
by existing members and support by new groups. The lending market
is made up from a diverse range of service providers and for
LIXI to realise its full potential we need every lending chain
group to be represented. If you are interested to review the
opening presentation from the meeting please see the papers
section on the website.
LIXI is making the transition from theory to practice
in an increasing pace. Announcements by adopters of LIXI such
as the Trident group motivate and urge others to join. In this
issue we welcome a number of new members from the Valuer segment
of the lending market and look forward to their adoption of
and contribution to LIXI.
I have it from a good source that there will be
a technology “show and tell” from one of the Valuer
members at our next LIXI General Meeting in Sydney on June 26th.
In addition, there will be a preview of a new and exciting way
of sending forms and signatures across the mobile network to
any destination. Sounds interesting? Mark this date in your
diary now!
And it doesn’t stop there. More and more
members are announcing their LIXI gateways and LIXI enabled
products. Nextgen.net, the technology providers for the Trident
group, have firmly placed their support in LIXI and made a strong
commitment of continued support for the standard.
This month LIXI is also announcing the first of
a series of training courses targeting an introduction to Credit
Application Language [CAL] for Analysts and Developers. See
next story for more information.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all
the participants of the LIXI survey. The analysis of the results
is underway and we will be covering the main topics and issues
at our next GM in June. The prize draw for the survey was conducted
in front of the Board and was drawn by Andy Zaple of The Pitt
Crew. We have two lucky winners: Neil McDowell from Macquarie
Bank Limited won the Xbox and Ramesh Konda from Yes Home Loans
who won the Lunch with Barry Thomas and myself. The Xbox will
be presented by Microsoft at the GM.
