Point of Sale (POS) mortgage origination platforms have become the new standard for the modern mortgage borrower, who expects the process of applying for a mortgage to be as easy and accessible as any of the latest smartphone apps. And why shouldn’t it?

But when it comes to streamlining the mortgage origination process, these platforms can be a bit of a dead end on the lender’s side, requiring all of the data and documents that the consumer uploaded so conveniently to be re-entered and validated.

The Digital Mortgage conference in Las Vegas later this month will bring together some of the most innovative minds in the industry to share a world of new technology that is slowly but surely pushing the mortgage business out of its over-stuffed file folders and into a (mostly) paperless future.

Among other topics, speakers will cover the prospects for “A Fully Digital Mortgage – It’s closer than you think,” and “Achieving 100% Digital Mortgage Adoption.”

At the same time, there is recognition that as digital transformations go, the mortgage industry may be on the path, but the finish line is still a few file folders away.

Amid so many promising new solutions for harnessing the efficiency and easy access of digital document management, the challenge of integrating disparate systems remains.

MetaSource®, a leading provider of mortgage quality control services and technology, has launched its latest solution for the mortgage industry with software that bridges borrower-friendly loan origination platforms with the back-office loan origination platforms used by lenders.

Symmetri™ is a software integration solution that will streamline the flow of mortgage information that is collected from consumer point of sale (POS) platforms. As a growing number of mortgages originate within these popular and easy-to-use customer interfaces, lenders have been left with a gap that requires time-consuming and clunky manual processes for getting borrower information into their systems.
