• New Document Imaging Software – Users will be able to scan documents into the eRecording process from virtually any scanner or upload PDFs. There will no longer be a requirement to scan documents to a to TIF file before uploading.

• Enhanced Security – A new, secure login process will be used for all business and public users. This login provides access to many of the new features.
