The Numbers Customers have 5 transactions to choose from Reports menu provides 10 categories of information 37-40% of Notice of Security Interest transactions are processed online by business partners 545 businesses currently using the E-lien system 1200 digital certificates issued or authorized to business partners

What We Do As An LRA Accept and approve business partner agreements Create business partner accounts Process PKI requests Authorize, develop and process PKI vetting list Resolve business partner’s problems

Advantages of Being an LRA Establishes trusted partnerships Establishes a community of business partners Provides direct interaction and access to business partners Retain complete control over access to application Insures high level of security and irrefutability

Challenges of Being an LRA Working with an emerging technology, customers don’t understand it Learning curve for both 3 to 5 calls per day for PKI assistance Need to dedicate resources Problem evaluation and resolution process can be time consuming Sometimes must repeat vetting process

The Bottom Line: Beware of imitations. If it’s too easy, everyone would do it and no one would have any measure of security.
