The company's Internet-based applications are built on the latest technologies, which enable its products to be fast, accurate, and easy to use. e2Value is the only Web-based valuation company with a patent for its methodology and boasts the only system that can value any size property on a single platform. COMPANY HISTORY: e2Value was founded in 2000 by insurance executives trying to solve the inefficiencies of other, paper-based, pre-technology valuation systems. The company offers knowledge-based Internet applications that enable consistency and standardization of pricing, processes, and procedures for all financial firms. e2Value's ITV tools are built specifically for use by insurance professionals. AV3 was built to be a USPAPcompliant product that follows FDIC guidelines. The company has grown from one customer to 475,000-plus end-users and more than 475 customers throughout North America (U.S. and Canada) in 12 years and owns U.S. Patent No. 7,373,303 for Methods and for Estimating Building Reconstruction Costs. e2Value provides products to assist with collateral asset valuation, predictive modeling, insurance-to-value, workflow solutions, and more. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: With 12 years of proven results in the insurance industry, e2Value's clients have prevailed through some of the largest disasters with the help of the company's valuation tools. e2Value's role in facilitating this success resulted in clients meeting their fiduciary obligations, which in turn allowed them to help their policyholders in their greatest time of need, and that was achieved by e2Value's commitment to developing valuations for everything from the simplest and lowest-cost housing to the most expensive and complex properties in North America. While e2Value's heritage started with high-end home valuations, the company went on to develop unique capabilities to work with all structures, regardless of value, taking pride in the fact that customers turn to e2Value when answers matter most. KEYS TO SUCCESS: AV3 offers the unique capability of combining the three approaches to value: sales, cost, and income in a weighted average for automated valuation of a property. The process is FDIC Reg 5000 compliant and can help with Dodd-Frank compliance, manage Tier 1 capital reserves, and with forthcoming Basel III implications. It can be done with one property or thousands for both commercial and residential properties. 72 Many suppliers have a sales approach, or a cost approach, or an income approach, but AV3 is able to combine the values and also include flood maps and corresponding amounts of property insurance needed for any properties covered by flood insurance. e2Value has been successful for two main reasons. Most important, its systems work when they are needed. Secondly, the company literally and figuratively provides value—meaning the results delivered are valued by customers both for the results and for the return on their investment in the service. e2Value's customers demand accurate numbers, quickly and easily. The company provides that without any software to own or maintain and its platform doesn't interfere with other company operations. In fact, e2Value's software never has to interact with any company systems but can be easily integrated if needed. CORPORATE STRATEGY: e2Value rolled out the AV3 residential tool at the end of 2012 and is now rolling out its AV3 commercial tool. So far, the company's challenge has been to meet the increasing demands for service while still maintaining the same level of attention and service existing customers have come to expect.
