System Requirements
NLS is a multi-tier client server application written in-house entirely in Microsoft Visual C++ using an industry standard back end database.
NLS supports integration with third party products using COM, DCOM, C++, VB, SOAP, and REST based web services. There are approximately 50 different third party products with which we have interfaced.
Import and export controls are in the GUI with event driven scripting. Importing into the application is as simple as building an XML object and importing via one of our supported interface methods.
Client Computer Requirements
Hardware requirements will vary depending on the operating system being used. PCs meeting or exceeding the minimum requirements for its installed operating system is recommended. Make sure the operating system is up-to-date with the latest software and security updates installed.
Supported Operating Systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit are supported):
| NLS 4 | NLS 5 – 5.15 | NLS 5.16 – 5.20 | NLS 5.21+ | NLS 5.33+ | |

Windows dark mode is not fully supported at this time and some visual irregularities may appear.
Server Requirements
Hardware requirements will vary depending on the operating system being used. For optimal performance, a dual quad-core Xeon 5500 series server is recommended to service up to 100 NLS users and 50,000 to 100,000 active loans.

Storage space is dependent on the database used, number of loans in a portfolio, and the type of history maintained. Estimates for a loan portfolio are 80 MB to 200 MB per 1,000 loans maintained for one year. Size per 1,000 loans is based on:
- Statement, late notices, and other images being archived in the database.
- Frequency of statements.
- Loan setups that include complicated interest structures.
- Transactions per loan.
- Collections activity for specific portfolio.
