The electronic recording initiative is about to heat up. You may recall that we had an initial meeting with potential users at the end of January, but soon thereafter our website suffered a major malfunction. That proved to be quite a distraction, but now that the website’s been working reliably for six weeks, we can resume our planning for electronic recording. Our computer company, ACS, will also provide our initial e-recording system. The ACS process, known as eRX, has been customized to Massachusetts requirements and thoroughly tested in the ACS labs. By mid-April, we hope to have a test system installed in Lowell. This will allow us to learn how it works and to adapt our operations to incorporate electronic recording. It will also allow us to demonstrate the process for customers before they are asked to use it to record live documents. Stay tuned for more information about this.
