In Brief: Wells' Mortgage Unit Extends Alltel Link

Alltel Corp.'s Residential Lending Solutions unit said it had renewed its contract with Norwest Mortgage.

The Des Moines-based home lending unit of Wells Fargo & Co. will continue to use Alltel's mortgage servicing software for another three years. Norwest also bought 2,000 licenses for Director, a graphical user interface for Alltel's package that automates many functions and makes the system more user-friendly.

Norwest, which has been an Alltel client for 10 years, is one of the top servicers in the country, managing three million residential loans, worth $270 billion.
