The Iowa Title Guaranty (ITG) system offers an exceptional product and pricing structure. However, it is imperative that we update the technology that powers the program, in order to compete in today’s digital, fast-paced real estate industry.
Iowa Title Guaranty’s current title production system, CAP 2.0, is at the end of its lifecycle. As a result, participating abstractors, attorneys, field-issuers and closers are not as competitive as they could be in the delivery of title services to Iowa lenders and home buyers.
To solve this issue, Qualia Labs, Inc. has been selected to develop ITGs next-generation title production system. The ITG board will be considering the technology acquisition at their meeting on Aug 6, 2019.
The real estate industry is fast-paced and getting faster. Today’s lenders and borrowers demand convenience, transparency and accountability. To meet these expectations, we must rethink and streamline processes, go digital and integrate across functional areas.

SUBMIT QUESTIONSQualia Labs, Inc. is one of the few independently-owned companies offering technology customized for our industry. Additionally, they provide the only web-based offering designed to support underwriter functions such as remittances and reconciliations. We selected Qualia because of their outstanding technology solutions, pricing structure and support, in addition to the long list of enhanced features the system will provide our participants.
Yes. After our agreement with Qualia Labs, Inc. is finalized, a series of stakeholder focus groups will be assembled. The focus groups will be comprised of representatives from each industry group with special attention paid to providing representation for organizations of all sizes and locations. Once offices start coming on board to Qualia they will have access to Qualia’s support staff who will help them to configure their own unique deployment based on the individual stakeholder’s needs.
The proposed timeline is as follows:
Historically, insecure communication and outdated software has exposed sensitive data to costly breaches in the title industry. That trend is only growing in recent years with First American’s massive breach of 2019 being widely blamed on dated technology. Qualia’s data security group has mitigated these risks by building a technology infrastructure and closed workflow environment that both protects from malicious attempts at breaches as well as reduces processor errors that may lead to breaches.
Qualia has invested heavily in the security and reliability of its platform, earning the American Land Title Association’s ALTA Elite Provider status as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA’s) Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) certification, and third party accreditation as a certified ISO/IEC 27001:2013 provider from the International Standards Organization.
Qualia is widely-recognized as a national thought leader on data security, one of their recent media features on the subject aired on NBC and is available here.
