PriceMyLoan Philosophy
Over the past several years, the rapid growth in mortgage lending has spurred investment in technology designed to streamline processes and enable mortgage companies to increase efficiency and profitability. Many industry experts have identified web-based technology and Software as a Service (SaaS) as an ideal solution for mortgage companies because of its versatility as an open architecture platform and its considerable cost advantage over traditional client-server software.

Web-based technology refers to a type of software, where the Internet and a web-browser are used as a means of delivering system functionality. This allows users to access the system through any Internet browser rather than via just one computer station. One of the main advantages of using a web-based system is that the total cost of ownership for the software is much lower, to the extent that IT costs can be reduced by as much as 70%.

 

Another advantage is that by using web-based technology, PriceMyLoan is able to deliver sophisticated automated underwriting and loan pricing capabilities more than any single company can accomplish on its own. By leveraging economies of scale inherent to the web-based model, lenders gain a competitive advantage in terms of cost, speed and accuracy.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a business model that can accompany web-based software and adds a service component that enhances usability and value over time. SaaS transforms the static "software" concept into a dynamic environment, where system functionality responds to client demands by continually updating itself and delivering these enhancements instantaneously.

Underwriting and pricing is complex and changes are a constant. These modifications and updates can have drastic effects on accuracy and effectiveness. Using an SaaS model allows PriceMyLoan to input any changes quickly and accurately for our clients.
