Ellie Mae Launches New Version of Encompass All-in-One Mortgage Management Solution

Ellie Mae® (NYSE:ELLI), a leading provider of innovative on-demand software solutions and services for the residential mortgage industry, announced today that it has launched a new version of Encompass, its all-in-one mortgage management solution. Encompass 16.2 offers new and enhanced integrations with Freddie Mac tools, and enhancements to the Total Quality Loan (TQL) program, including strengthened strategic partnerships and updates to Encompass Product and Pricing Service (EPPS).

“The latest version of our Encompass all-in-one mortgage management solution will offer enhanced TQL capabilities, more customer choice with leading providers like First American Mortgage Solutions and DataVerify and updates to the Encompass Product and Pricing Service,” said Jonathan Corr, president and CEO of Ellie Mae. “And with this new release of Encompass, Ellie Mae is first to market with our integration with the new Freddie Mac Loan Product Advisor and Loan Quality Advisor, key elements of Freddie Mac’s Loan Advisor Suite. This release incorporates their tools directly into Encompass, offering our customers greater certainty and more streamlined workflow.”

Freddie Mac Loan Product Advisor and Loan Quality Advisor

Ellie Mae is the first to market with integrations to select applications in Freddie Mac’s new Loan Advisor SuiteSM. Encompass will offer Loan Product Advisor, the replacement for Freddie Mac’s automated underwriting system, Loan Prospector®, and the cornerstone tool of Freddie Mac’s Loan Advisor SuiteSM. Loan Product Advisor is the next generation in the evolution of automated underwriting with a focus on further streamlining the underwriting process for greater efficiency. In addition, Encompass will offer integration with Freddie Mac’s Loan Quality Advisor, available to Freddie Mac sellers. The integration of Loan Quality Advisor, Freddie Mac’s risk and loan eligibility assessment tool, into Ellie Mae’s Encompass allows its customers to originate loans within Freddie Mac guidelines more easily and with greater certainty, taking immediate advantage of the new features Freddie Mac is bringing to market.

Total Quality Loan Program (TQL) Program Enhancements

Encompass will soon offer enhanced TQL capabilities that give customers access to industry-leading services that streamline the loan review process, reduce costs and improve overall loan performance and profitability. The new version of Encompass adds DataVerify’s DRIVE services, including fraud detection and 4506-T for income verification, and FraudGuard®, First American Mortgage Solutions’ comprehensive decision-support tool designed to quickly and accurately identify risk in mortgage transactions. Through these strategic partnerships, Ellie Mae offers customers greater choice with leading providers while providing consistent processes across the enterprise. Ellie Mae’s TQL enables streamlined ordering of services, such as compliance, income, fraud reviews and flood certifications, throughout the loan lifecycle and from a single screen, enforcing consistent processes across the lender’s organization.

New TPO Settings Report Management

Additional flexibility and unique reporting features have been added with new TPO settings report management. Correspondent buyers now have the ability to extract and report many important TPO settings contained within each TPO record in Encompass with an additional 400 new data points. Encompass TPO WebCenter offers direct, secure connections to third-party originators, no matter what software they use.

Encompass Product and Pricing Service (EPPS) Updates

Aligned with Ellie Mae’s ongoing support for construction lending, EPPS now includes support for the Construction and Construction-Perm loan programs and the ability to create ARM Loan Programs from a more robust list of available ARM indices. EPPS saves time with seamless two-way workflow that sends information from the loan file to the product and pricing engine, and adjust information back to the lender’s lock request form, secondary registration tool and the borrower’s secure loan eFolder. EPPS is used by more Encompass clients than any other product and pricing engine, with more than 500 customers leveraging the solution today.
