DDI Technology Launches Electronic Lien and Title (ELT) Services in Indiana

Company expands ELT technology to 28th state

DDI Technology (DDI), a leading automotive title management firm and a subsidiary of IAA Holdings, LLC (IAA), a leading global digital marketplace connecting vehicle buyers and sellers, announces the launch of its electronic lien and title (ELT) services in Indiana. This is the 28th state to feature DDI ELT technology and solutions. DDI continues to lead the industry with its Premier eTitleLien® product for lenders and Premier EVR™ product for dealers.

This latest launch of DDI’s ELT services will allow Indiana lenders to better manage their vehicle title portfolio and significantly lower operating costs. DDI continues to find innovative solutions for its customers, now acting as both an ELT service provider for lenders and a partial service provider for dealer transactions. The latest integration of these two systems allows both parties better visibility when ensuring lien placement. DDI’s expansion into new states benefits customers by simplifying the titling process, eliminating paper storage, and reducing title loss and fraud.

“We are thrilled to announce DDI’s entry into Indiana at a pivotal time for lenders,” said Tab Edmundson, IAA Vice President of Client Solutions and DDI President. “With ELT set to become mandatory in Indiana on July 1, DDI’s entry into this market allows time for lenders to become compliant with the new rules and maximize the benefits of this new offering.”
