As title agencies prepare for the transition away from RamQuest, many are considering not just which title production system (TPS) to adopt but also how to modernize their overall IT infrastructure. One of the most forward-thinking moves a title agency can make is transitioning from traditional on-premises servers to a serverless infrastructure in the cloud.
Serverless computing offers a host of advantages that enhance security, streamline operations, and improve scalability—all while reducing the burden of IT management. Here’s why now is the perfect time to move toward a serverless approach with a SaaS TPS.
Security: Protecting Your Data with Microsoft 365 Identity Services
Title agencies handle highly sensitive financial and legal data, making security a top priority. A serverless infrastructure paired with the security of Microsoft 365 identity services (Entra ID) provides:
- Advanced Authentication & Access Control – Conditional access policies ensure that only authorized users can access your TPS, preventing unauthorized logins.
- Reduced Attack Surface – By eliminating on-premises servers, you decrease exposure to ransomware and other cyber threats.
- Compliance with Industry Standards – Microsoft’s security solutions (when properly implemented) align with ALTA Best Practices and SOC 2 requirements, ensuring your agency meets regulatory requirements effortlessly.
Operational Efficiency: Less Maintenance, More Productivity
Traditional IT environments require constant updates, maintenance, and troubleshooting. By moving to a serverless architecture:
- Automatic Updates & Patching – Your SaaS TPS provider handles software updates and security patches, reducing downtime and IT workload.
- No More Server Maintenance – Say goodbye to aging hardware, on-site server failures, and costly repairs.
- Scalability on Demand – Serverless environments automatically adjust resources based on workload, meaning you only pay for what you use.
Cost Considerations: A Smarter IT Investment
While some agencies hesitate to adopt SaaS solutions due to recurring costs, the financial benefits of going serverless often outweigh the alternatives. With a serverless approach:
- Lower Upfront Costs – No need to invest in new physical servers or expensive infrastructure.
- Predictable Expenses – Subscription-based pricing structures make technology budgeting more consistent (though not necessarily cheaper).
- Elimination of Legacy System Costs – Maintaining outdated systems or on-prem servers often leads to higher costs over time, both in direct expenses and lost efficiency.
