Emergis’ electronic mortgage solution now available in Ontario

Montréal, December 13, 2007 — Emergis Inc. (TSX: EME) today announced its Assyst Real Estate electronic solution for completing residential mortgage transactions is now available in Ontario—Canada’s largest real estate market with more than 4,500 real estate lawyers.

“Building on our tremendous success in Quebec, we are pleased with our progress in encouraging B.C.’s and now Ontario’s legal community to adopt our electronic mortgage solution,” said Keith Nugara, Senior Vice-President, Financial Services at Emergis. “Real estate professionals realize the value of migrating from a paper-intensive to an automated mortgage process that contributes to increasing their productivity.”

The Emergis Assyst Real Estate solution is a bilingual, web-based application that links legal professionals and lenders electronically to facilitate instructing, registering, reporting and completing mortgage loans. Assyst Real Estate speeds up the processing of mortgage transactions, reduces paperwork, cuts costs and lowers the risk of clerical error.

Although also offered on a stand-alone basis, the Emergis Assyst Real Estate solution has been integrated with other vendors’ real estate software, such as The Conveyancer® from Do Process Software in Ontario. Such integration with suppliers of documentation preparation software allows Emergis to accelerate the adoption of Assyst Real Estate in each province as it is launched across the country in partnership with a major Canadian bank.

Most real estate lawyers in Ontario complete their closing documents using The Conveyancer® from Do Process. With Assyst Real Estate, participating lenders deliver pre-populated mortgage instructions directly to the real estate lawyer’s desktop, who can then complete the mortgage transaction and submit their final report to the lender online.

As part of its adoption strategy, Emergis also concluded an agreement with the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) last summer to become its exclusive preferred supplier of electronic mortgage processing services. The CBA represents some 37,000 lawyers, judges, law teachers, and law students from across Canada. The Ontario Bar Association (OBA)—the largest provincial branch of the CBA with 17,000 members—has been actively involved in joint marketing activities with Emergis to promote further Assyst Real Estate in Ontario.

“We are pleased with Emergis’ commitment to offer our members an innovative solution designed to meet their needs and help them achieve enhanced efficiencies in their legal practice,” said Greg Goulin, President of the OBA.

Assyst Real Estate has been successfully deployed in Quebec where 80% of notaries use the solution. It is also currently being deployed in British Columbia and will be rolled out in the other Western provinces early 2008 and in the Atlantic Provinces by the end of 2008.
