Project

Interactive Application That Measures The Financial Risk of Each Loan Request And Makes Ordering A Loan Easier Than The Competition’s Lending Process

 

Project Requirements

There is a certain amount of financial risk in being a leading mortgage lending firm. Needing a reliable resource to work with, the firm turned to Intertech to build an interactive application for its brokers that would measure the amount of financial risk of each loan requested. Additionally, the mortgage agency required that the application additionally provide its brokers with the ability to monitor their pipeline while filtering criteria capabilities.

Result

Intertech delivered an innovative application with a full suite of loan management capabilities for the mortgage services firm that simplified and streamlined relationships with Brokers, generating even more profit for the firm, meeting each requirement and business objective of the project.

Overview

To help fuel this goal, Intertech leveraged an Agile development process for this project. The Agile process involved short 2-week sprints while delivering and then defining the feature & functionality to be delivered in the next Sprint. At the end of each Sprint Intertech demonstrated the software to the customer for feedback before launch.

Making sure the technology used was compatible with their IT department’s requirements, the solution was hosted in Windows Azure to provide high availability, ease of management and excellent speed.

This user experience was created through BizTalk orchestrations. The BizTalk orchestrations engine included business rules using Inrule; enabling a clean flow of data between the client, originators, and credit agencies, providing timely and analyzed information and the ability for the underwriters and others within the firm to make much faster and more informed decisions around purchasing or funding of each mortgage.

The result provided the client’s customers the ability to manage a loan through its full lifecycle, all the way from registration through post-closing, making it easier for the customer, while generating more profit and better industry recognition for the firm.

"Thanks to everybody for the efforts over the last 18 months!"

“It’s with mixed feelings that this day has arrived. I’m sad to see this collaborative effort come to an end; but I’m excited with what we have accomplished. Tom & Scott had a lot of patience with me through the process and were able to teach me a lot of good stuff. For me, one of the big benefits of the Intertech/[client] relationship was it helped me demonstrate the value of software to the company which led to my getting approval to hire two software folks. Even though this particular project/phase is at an end, I’m hoping we have the opportunity to work together again. Once again, Thanks to everybody for the efforts over the last 18 months.”
