LendingQB Releases White Paper on Mortgage Technology

LendingQB has announced that it has published a free White Paper designed for lenders that are considering replacing their loan origination system (LOS). The Paper addresses the challenges lenders face when evaluating mortgage technologies and outlines a strategy to assess their existing technology weaknesses, identifying areas for improvement. Entitled “The Five Steps to Making Better Technology Decisions,” the White Paper recommends conducting an Enterprise Process Assessment (EPA) of lending operations and workflows. According to the Paper, all too often, lenders buy technology predominantly based on features, failing to perform a critical deep dive analysis of their workflow to effectively model and measure process enhancements using standards and best practices. "The Five Steps to Making Better Technology Decisions" stresses that before buying technology, lenders must establish an objective, well-defined, comprehensive process in order to overcome the many challenges associated with complex technology evaluations. Executing an EPA provides a clear understanding of and roadmap for how to select technology that reduces cost per loan, improves profitability, maximizes employee productivity and decrease the number of manual touch points throughout the workflow. Key points in the White Paper: ►Overview of the mortgage technology challenges lenders face in today’s market; ►Determining the technology lenders really need, avoiding what they don’t need; ►How to arrive at an evaluation readiness checklist; ►Identifying vaporware and avoiding feature buying traps; ►Using metrics to achieve a high ROI; ►The importance of a seamless workflow; ►How to reduce cost per loan and increase profitability.
