PALM COAST, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ACI announced today that Urban Lending Solutions Appraisals (ULSA) is in production with ACI Sky Delivery, an appraisal delivery portal that reduces revision requests and minimizes overrides. ACI Sky Delivery is fully integrated with the ULSA platform and improves the overall review process for the Colorado-based appraisal management company.
ACI Sky Delivery is an enterprise appraisal delivery platform including an appraiser-facing web interface that applies dynamic rules and renders real-time results, including hard stops, prior to posting the file for further review. Sky Delivery leverages PAR® Logic, ACI’s comprehensive collateral risk rules library that incorporates four levels of analysis with more than 1,200 rules for UAD (Uniform Appraisal Dataset), GSE (Government Sponsored Enterprise), and appraisal compliance. The extensive rules library spans multiple categories designed to reduce exceptions and identify any potential risks.
