History

R&W Technology Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as HR&W Data Center) was founded on May 5th of 1982 by CPA Wilfredo Morales Figueroa, current Chairman of the Board and CEO of the company, as a joint venture with his three major clients: HF Mortgage, R&G Mortgage and United Mortgage. Over the years Wilfredo Morales acquired 100% of the shares of the company and now the company is owned by Mr. & Mrs. Wilfredo Morales and sons. Presently two of his sons share its management. Othni J. Morales, MCSA was named President & CEO August 2007 and Marcel Morales, CLC., CST., was named Executive Vice President & Chief of Customer Relations Officer.

The conversion of these first clients was started in August of 1982 and the on-line service was started in September of that same year with 12,000 loans managed in an Eclipse S-140 computer from Data General, which included 512K of memory, two hard disks of 147K and capacity for 32 terminals. Three Micom multiplexers where being used with modems of 4,800bps speeds and three dedicated telephone lines. The operating system was RDOS, which limited capacity to 32 terminals per machine, in addition to maintaining a queue of all requested jobs, which further limited the execution of the jobs to one at a time.

Since the beginning of operations, HR&W was managed by R&W, Accounting, a company created by CPA Wilfredo Morales with 31 years of experience in the mortgage banking industry and his wife Rebecca, who assumed the position of general manager.

The company's growth was a direct result of the growth of its main clients. The success of HF, R&G and United was exponential in the first five years. The experiment had been a success, as the costs of operation per loan were kept lower than the costs of the market at that time.

The fast growth in the number of loans managed required the aquisition of additional computers. In 1989, three new shiny computers were added of the MV/15000 series from Data General running with an advanced operating system with multi-user and multi-processing capabilities, which permited the execution of hundreds of jobs at virtually the same time. Each computer had 16 megabytes of memory with a capacity of over 300 terminals. In addition, there were seven hard disks, four of them being of 1.2 gigabytes, and the rest being of 354K, for a total of aproximately 6 gigabytes of storage capacity. This allowed for an increase in scalability of 40,000 loans per machine. The application written in ICOBOL was developed by Mortgage Computer Applications, from Odgen, Utah. Version 7.65 of the AOS/VS operating system and release 1.40 of ICOBOL were running on the machines at the time.

Currently we have an AVIION 3750 super computer from EMC with 4 Intel Xeon 700Mhz CPUs (1MB cache), 4GB of RAM and 360GB of hard disk storage connected through fiber optics for a capacity of over 250,000 loans. DG/UX is the operating system. Presently, we have the capacity to communicate 1,024 users on-line over routers and private T1 telephone lines.

We have microfilmed and microfiched over 15 million documents for various clients over the years. In May of 2003, we upgraded to a full Digital Imaging Operation.

Among the clients we serve are Doral Financial Corporation, Ashford Presbyterian Hospital, Oncologic Hospital, Audio Visual Concepts, Oriental Financial Group, Deya Elevator, Golden Mortgage, Beneficial Mortgage, Law firms and others.
