Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation Expands Relationship with Gryphon Networks By Deploying Guardian Compliance Management Solution.

NORWOOD, Mass. -- E[acute accent]Allied Relies on Guardian to Ensure that Lead Lists are in Compliance with State, Federal and In-house Do-Not-Call Regulations and Rapidly Distributed to 650 Branch Offices

E[acute accent]Gryphon Networks, the leading provider of real-time compliance and contact management solutions, today announced that it is providing a telephone marketing compliance solution to Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation (AHMCC), the largest privately held mortgage banker/broker in the U.S. The Gryphon Networks solution is helping Allied accelerate the delivery of highly qualified lead lists to the field, which improves its overall marketing effectiveness, and hones its customer contact strategy. E[acute accent]Using Guardian, an integral component of Gryphon Networks' Integrated Compliance and Contact Management Platform (ICCMP), Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation is able to ensure that its lead lists are in full compliance with all state, federal and in-house Do-Not-Call (DNC) regulations prior to distribution to its 650 branch offices. In this manner, Guardian enables AHMCC to deliver to the field only the highest quality leads in the shortest amount of time. Furthermore, potential customers -- who are unable to be contacted because their phone numbers are on Do-Not-Call lists -- can still be reached through alternative contact methods such as direct mail, enhancing AHMCC's overall marketing strategy and improving its customer contact effectiveness. This ability to successfully leverage alternative customer contact methods is enabled by Gryphon Networks' Integrated Compliance and Contact Management Platform approach. E[acute accent]"As a satisfied customer of Gryphon Networks' Call Advisor compliance and productivity management solution, we turned again to Gryphon Networks to help us manage our growth responsibly and reliably by keeping our lead lists 100 percent in compliance with all state, federal and in-house Do-Not-Call regulations," said David Langston, CIO of Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation. "Guardian seamlessly integrates with our existing platform, ensuring that DNC-restricted numbers are deleted and only a fully certified list of compliant telephone numbers are supplied to our branch offices. With Guardian in place, our field agents are able to focus exclusively on turning prospects into customers without the fear of stumbling across numbers on DNC-restricted lists." E[acute accent]"As Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation continued its rapid growth by opening up new branch offices across the country it didn't have to look too far to find a partner with the full capabilities to accommodate its compliance and productivity needs," said Keith Fotta president and CEO of Gryphon Networks. "By harnessing this powerful combination of Guardian and Call Advisor, Allied is able to automatically remove restricted numbers from the dialing queue and prevent them from being dialed, which results in greater efficiencies and reduced telecommunications expense. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to expand our business relationship with Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation, helping the company go beyond compliance to capitalize on more highly qualified leads, get them out to the field quickly, grow its revenue stream, and gain a competitive advantage." E[acute accent]A Gryphon Networks customer since 2003, Langston estimates that the Gryphon Networks' Call Advisor productivity and compliance solution has blocked more than 16 percent of Allied's approximately 2.5 million calls that were aimed at numbers registered on a variety of federal and state DNC lists. E[acute accent]"With Gryphon Networks' Call Advisor firmly in place, Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation has averted exposure to more than $4.5 billion in federal fines alone to date," said Langston. "This has resulted in a staggering return on investment of more than $23,293 for every $1 we have spent to protect ourselves while engaged in telemarketing activities."

E[acute accent]About the Gryphon Networks Integrated Compliance and Contact Management Platform (ICCMP)

E[acute accent]Gryphon Networks' Integrated Compliance and Contact Management Platform (ICCMP) automates every aspect of regulatory compliance while driving alternative customer contact methods to reach potential customers that are lost to Do-Not-Call, Do-Not-Fax, Do-Not-Mail and Do-Not-E-mail lists. ICCMP is powered by exemption management technology utilizing customer preference marketing intelligence that enables firms to target the right prospect, with the right message in their preferred method of contact. Gryphon Networks' ICCMP enables companies with the ability to target highly desirable prospects, launch alternative customer acquisition methods, and leverage "exemption management" technology to redirect sales efforts to a more intimate approach.

The end result is a highly focused sales effort with dramatically improved results creating a distinct competitive advantage for customers.
