November 13, 2007

Bozeman, Mont– Zoot, a leading provider of advanced instant credit decisioning and loan origination solutions, announced at the BAI Retail Delivery 2007 show, the internal release of a development tool, Zoot User Interface (ZUI), which enables financial institutions to rapidly deploy custom applications.

Zoot developed ZUI in response to a need within the marketplace for faster development of custom applications. ZUI was designed for business analysts and other non-technical users in developing applications, such as loan origination systems (LOS). ZUI facilitates the creation of loan origination interface screens and the database interaction layer necessary to provide banks with the application entry and manual underwriting functionality needed to issue credit.

"ZUI provides the final, major component of Zoot’s solution set that includes decisioning, workflow and vendor portal tools. This combination of tools enables the rapid development of automated systems for banks. With ZUI, we anticipate that our clients will experience an order of magnitude reduction in the time necessary to deploy custom automated solutions, enhancing their ability to achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace," said Tom Johnson, vice president of product development.

ZUI is able to adapt and build customized applications from any database to meet the individual requirements of financial institutions. ZUI alleviates the traditional technology restraints by giving financial institutions an increased level of control and configurability over the origination process. Applications delivered by ZUI can be easily and rapidly adjusted to meet evolving market needs, giving the end-user an advantage in terms of time, resource and cost savings.
