Overview
Supreme Lending, a national mortgage lender with presence in all 50 states, desired to implement a new Loan Origination System to improve its customer’s experience, modernize its technology, and to maintain compliance. The new system supported every business group from Origination to Servicing to Capital Markets, including 1,500 Loan Officers and 200+ Branches. This all required implementation within 6 months, a record timeframe in the industry for this type of project.
