Decision Insight Information Group Launches in U.S., Canada and Europe

Decision Insight Information Group was formerly the Property Information Division of MDA Corporation, acquired in January 2011 by global private equity firm TPG Capital.

The same, distinctive companies that have provided risk management and due diligence solutions for the property-related financial services industry across the U.S., Canada and Europe will continue to comprise Decision Insight Information Group, and each individual company will retain its own name under the new corporate identity.

The businesses incorporated in Decision Insight Information Group include:

- MSB and DataQuick in the U.S., providing risk management solutions in insurance, mortgage  lending, and other property-related financial services

- Access Point Information Canada, providing the e-government delivery and information filing infrastructure in partnership with the government of British Columbia, Canada

- SearchFlow, xit2 and Decision Insight Hub, together with Millar & Bryce in Scotland, Lawlink NI in Northern Ireland, and Rochford Brady Group in the Republic of Ireland, providing essential information for legal and financial professionals to manage property transactions in England and Wales

- Wertweiser – a joint venture with HVB Bank, providing property valuation support in Germany.
As the leader in global property information intelligence, Decision Insight Information Group provides a comprehensive range of strategically delivered information, infrastructure and decision support products to insurance, financial, legal and property professionals.

The resources and commitment of TPG will allow the Company to target growth in existing and new complementary markets.
