Challenge

Lendmark faced the challenge of undertaking a technology refresh to accommodate the business’ accelerated growth in originating direct consumer loans. Lendmark needed a system that aligned with a thin-client branch strategy leveraging a browser interface. In addition, Lendmark was looking for more robust logging and exception tracking throughout the application process.

Key criteria for any potential partnership included scalability to future expansion and the ability to deliver software releases quickly according to business and regulatory demands.
