Industry Context

The client emerged as the premier provider of mortgage services. As the industry evolved, it brought forth heightened demands for security compliance.

This shift highlighted the urgent need to modernize their enterprise loan system. The on-prem-based legacy application, initially designed to handle peak loads, soon revealed its drawbacks.

Not only did it lead to significant capacity wastage, but it also incurred unnecessary cost overheads. Azure presented the perfect solution to alleviate these challenges.

Client Challenge

The client had a legacy system that required extensive maintenance and enhancements. It lacked modern conveniences and features like automated loan processing and document delivery.

The absence of features translated to a significant manual overhead, placing a significant strain on employees. To compound these challenges, the rudimentary DevOPS pipeline hindered swift product changes.
