May 2, 2007

Annapolis, MD -- TSS Software Corporation, a nationwide, independent provider of settlement services software, announced it closed the first quarter of 2007 as its most successful financial quarter in company history.

By winning new customer referrals, boosting its professional services offerings, and maintaining steady focus on reliable customer support, the company has furthered its position as the industry’s leading independently owned software provider for title, settlement, and abstracting companies.

The company strengthened its training services by expanding options to include an extensive Webinar curriculum as well as user seminars annexed with state and regional land title association conferences.

Our customers’ loyalty demonstrates a high level of trust in TSS and its products,” said Robert Miller, TSS CEO. “Looking ahead to the rest of 2007, we anticipate continued growth as the real estate market stabilizes, interest rates fall, and settlement services firms become more optimistic.”
