Ellie Mae Announces New Data Delivery Method, Encompass Data Connect Now Includes a Hosted Delivery Choice

PLEASANTON, Calif., June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellie Mae®, the leading cloud-based loan origination platform provider for the mortgage industry, today announced the general availability of Encompass Data Connect(TM) in a hosted delivery as another option for lenders to gain access to their data.

Lenders can now choose between two data delivery methods:

    --  Hosted: Analyze Encompass® data by connecting a Business Intelligence
        (BI) application directly to Data Connect without having to replicate
        the data to a local data warehouse.
    --  Replication: Replicate the Encompass data into a lender's data warehouse
        and to downstream applications for increased flexibility and analysis
        capabilities.

"Data is a lender's best friend. It allows for a better understanding of customers and members and the industry at large and provides key insights that lead to business innovation and a significant competitive advantage," said Joe Tyrrell, chief operating officer, Ellie Mae. "However, many lenders today struggle with extracting, storing and maintaining the currency of their data, which leads to high data maintenance and development costs, despite limited data visibility and availability. Data Connect in a hosted delivery model solves these problems."

Hosted delivery provides all of the existing benefits of the Data Connect replication solution and much more, including:

    --  Access to Encompass loan data fields in near real-time without impacting
        Encompass performance, offering access to the available data when you
        need it
    --  Pre-built reports and dashboards in third-party BI applications to
        reduce development costs
    --  Three years of historical data right out of the box to allow
        year-over-year analysis
    --  Automatic database schema updates synced with changes in Encompass
    --  Maximized existing business intelligence tools using structured data
        provided by Encompass Data Connect hosted

"Data Connect in a hosted delivery model leads to cost savings and an abundance of data-driven insights that can increase the efficiency, agility, and profitability of lenders' businesses," said Tyrrell.

"Without Data Connect to feed data to our operations and capital markets teammates, we wouldn't have been able to navigate the volume and volatile markets in March, April and May," said Michele Buschman, vice president of information services, American Pacific Mortgage. "Without having access to that data, it could kill a lender's business, so having it at our fingertips is a huge win for us."
