Selectica, the provider of sales and product configuration and enterprise contract lifecycle management solutions, has filed a patent for three new innovations that will enhance its declarative sales configuration engine, says TMCnet.com.

These are: the ability to set prices/margins at the product component level, a unique reverse configuration process that maps design options to meet buyer objectives, and dynamic components to change attributes of components in a configuration model.

These patent-pending innovations will make it possible to declare an "intent" for a product design or features, and then determine available configuration options, including associated costs down to individual components.

Advantage Systems, a provider of accounting and contract management tools for the mortgage and real estate industries, has added a dashboard analytics feature to its Accounting for Mortgage Bankers software package, says MarketWatch.

The added dashboard feature expands the scope of traditional accounting systems so data can be more easily accessed and used by presidents, CEOs and non-accounting staff.

The data is displayed through charts and graphs, making the accounting reports and information easier to read and understand. This feature can be used by decision makers to study real-time loan profitability and can help determine which loan products, branches and loan officers are most profitable.
