The SCEX is the calculation engine that not only is the preferred choice of the major Loan Origination Software (LOS) companies in the consumer / commercial lending space, but is also the foundation of our desktop and internet loan calculation products, WinLoan-32 and eWinLoan. Enhancements start with the SCEX and then flow into WinLoan-32 and eWinLoan as we adapt their user interfaces to accept the changes. Most enhancements are subtle and unnoticed by all but a few, but every so often, we make an enhancement that moves the SCEX significantly forward. Our new Commercial Loan module is such an enhancement.

We are pleased to announce that Fidelity Information Services, now FIS, has chosen J. L. Sherman & Associates as their exclusive partner for the loan and insurance calculations in their FIS Loan Origination (FLO) service. FIS will be using the Sherman Calculation Engine with XML Interface (SCEX) to drive the calculations in FLO.

Clicking [Calculate] takes you directly to the Menu Screen, with all the protection plans presented, and the no protection plan at the bottom. The Entry Screen for this setup option is below:

The Sherman programming team has been busy again! Our consumer loan calculation engine, the powerhouse SCEX, can now be run on the popular open source platform, Linux. While Windows may own a large majority of the desktop market, more and more application providers are using back-end systems powered by Linux due to its robust and easily accessible nature.

Our Sherman Calculation Engine with XML interface (SCEX), already the industry standard, continues to expand at our customers’ requests. The SCEX has become the calculation engine of choice for Loan Origination Software (LOS) providers across the country, as well as financial institutions seeking to develop their own platform systems.
