Ellie Mae, now ICE Mortgage Technology (ICE), announced the release of Encompass 20.2, which includes enhancements to increase productivity for lending and investing workflows.
ICE said Encompass 20.2 will provide an updated functionality for a more flexible, lender-configurable model that can support omni-channel business models; offer enhanced administrative tools to manage condition templates; support more granular options for condition management controls; and extend APIs (application programming interface) to support external workflow engines.
“We are constantly innovating to deliver more automation to fuel the digital mortgage on behalf of our lenders,” Joe Tyrrell, president, ICE Mortgage Technology said. “With this major release of Encompass, we are providing new levels of automated service ordering, efficient and collaborative workflows and the foundation for our hybrid eClosing which we are launching in just a few weeks. This is mission critical for lenders, especially when they are experiencing peak volumes, remote workforces, and homebuyers seeking high tech capabilities with human touch availability.”
ICE said the software will also help reduce the amount of time spent managing documents. Encompass 20.2 will offer improved performance of the document viewer, new experience and editing options, and will leverage version three of the Encompass Developer Connect eFolder attachment APIs. The APIs are backwards compatible to Encompass instances and are more efficient, secure, and utilize cloud storage, the release stated.
“Our pilot lenders who have already been using these enhanced capabilities have provided great feedback on their impact, speed and performance,” Tyrrell said. “They were impressed by the lightning upload speed and viewing performance improvements, they loved the modern look and feel, and appreciated the omni-channel business model support for greater flexibility. We look forward to continuing to support our Encompass lenders by providing them the automation and innovation they need to drive their businesses forward.”
