SAN DIEGO, November 26, 2003 - Inaugural, Benchmark List Recognizes Del Mar Database's Excellence in Customer Satisfaction, Functionality and Market Share

Del Mar Database (DMD), a leading provider of mortgage banking software solutions for small to mid-size lending institutions, has been named one of "The Top 100 Mortgage Tech Vendors" by Thomson Media's Mortgage Technology magazine.

DMD's inclusion in this inaugural, benchmark list appears in the magazine's July 2002 issue. The company's flagship product, DataTrac®, and "its speedy information-management engine" were cited, as was DMD's Internet delivery WebTrac® application.

"The Top 100 Mortgage Tech Vendors" focuses on the origination, rather than servicing, side of the industry, and ranks leading mortgage technology providers based on three major criteria: customer satisfaction, functionality and market share. "We think true excellence in mortgage technology comes only with being found used and useful to a body of customers," said Mortgage Technology editors Scott Kersnar and Rick Grant in their article accompanying the list. They additionally observed that "viable technology vendors gain and hold customers," and "superior technology earns market share."

"We are very pleased with Del Mar Database's inclusion in Mortgage Technology's first top 100 list of leading mortgage technology companies and to have highlighted visibility within the mortgage banking industry," stated Rob Katz, vice president of DMD. "This recognition underscores the success of our continuing commitment to listen and respond to our clients' requirements and needs, while growing customer service, sales and brand recognition," he said.
