In Brief: PMI Buys Appraisal Software Company

PMI Mortgage Services, a subsidiary of mortgage insurer PMI Group, has acquired CLM Technologies Ltd., a software company. CLM is the developer of Reason, a software program that performs residential appraisals.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

PMI acquired the rights to license and distribute Reason in 1995. But Stanley M. Pachura, vice president of PMI Mortgage Services, said the purchase will enable PMI "to introduce innovative enhancements and cost- saving upgrades more quickly."

Mr. Pachura said an upgraded version of Reason for Windows will be released later this summer.
