In addition, it provides the capability to manage, electronically sign and store mortgage documents in a secure electronic environment.

The transaction is expected to close in May, subject to certain closing conditions, according to Emergis. As part of the transaction stipulations, Emergis will receive $12 million in cash at closing and the balance of the sale price after a transition period of up to six months.
