WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 31, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — OpenClose®, an enterprise-class, multi-channel, end-to-end loan origination system (LOS) provider, announced that HousingWire has named the company to its 2016 HW TECH100™ list for the third year. The list recognizes the most innovative technology firms in the U.S. housing economy.
HousingWire evaluates technology innovation using six different categories: uniqueness of solution, growth, market influence, market potential, elegance of implementation, and “something else entirely” — a catch-all for disruption and other factors that drive innovation.
“The companies in the HW TECH100 are providing innovative solutions to the traditionally hide-bound mortgage finance industry,” said HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Jacob Gaffney. “In the face of rising costs to originate and service loans, a still-volatile housing market and multiplying regulations, these innovations are crucial to the survival and profitability of those in our industry.”
OpenClose was cited as making this year’s list as a result of the success it’s having with its multi-channel LOS that automates the retail, wholesale, correspondent and consumer direct lending channels from a centralized platform. In addition, OpenClose’s standalone, turnkey OC Correspondent™ module has been extremely effective in helping lenders launch new correspondent business channels or grow existing ones, as well as serving as a solution for conduits to buy closed loans. Lastly, the boutique-style model OpenClose developed for technical support and solution implementations is lauded by customers as being incredibly hands-on, responsive and service-oriented.
“To be designated as one of the most innovative technology companies in the mortgage industry for the third year in a row is an award that our entire organization is proud of,” said JP Kelly, president of OpenClose. “This recognition by HousingWire speaks volumes about the success we are having.”
“It’s incredible to see the universe of tech options now available to our industry,” said HousingWire Editor Sarah Wheeler. “Some of the best and brightest minds are clearly working in our space to address the extraordinary challenges our industry is facing.”
OpenClose’s integrated suite of products are utilized by mortgage bankers, banks, credit unions and investment firms to automate the lending processes.
