About the Client

Our client is a mortgage lending company available in 28 states with over 100 years of experience and a growing line of products. It offers conventional/government-backed home loans and after decades of experience developing mortgage lending expertise, it is now focused on meeting seniors’ mortgage needs as well with an emphasis on transparency and retirement goals. The company website offers free quotes, an online application and free educational resources.

The Challenge

Prior to engaging with Gravicore, all technology systems, software applications and data ingested from many different sources including SFTP, API, internal spreadsheets, had been maintained in on-premise datacenters and locally shared spreadsheets which proved inefficient and unscalable.

The client recognized the importance of establishing a secure, scalable technology infrastructure and data management environment to meet the current and future needs of its growing business.

To address the business challenges, the client engaged Gravicore to lead the design, development, implementation and maintenance of the Microsoft Azure cloud data management environment.

After completing phase 1 of design, implementation and activation, we are ready to start doing development, but I am not sure that really paints the picture of what you’ve done here.

The depth of what is in place, regardless of how much money is saved, what it adds from a security, compliance and control point of view, it’s a remarkable amount of future effort saved as well.
