    The technology is very well suited for QC audits. It is also flexible enough to create audits for other purposes within the mortgage industry.

    The system is great for loan origination and downline processing. The thing about Encompass is that it's only as good as its user so I can see where new loan originators or folks who are new to the system can have a huge disadvantage over somebody who is experienced with it. Of course, if you have experience with it it's the perfect tool. Compliance is also a big factor that Encompass does take advantage of. It communicates with various 3rd parties like Blend, appraisal management systems, Loanbeam, etc to help gather data where needed and keep files in compliance as needed. I don't know of any other case use for Encompass outside of loan origination.

    • The Web Center allows us to compete in our market and also allows us to continue to originate loans in markets where we don't have a physical originator.
    • The software is easy to use so it allows us to train staff very quickly so they can start producing mortgages.
    • I appreciate receiving information on upcoming updates well before they take place so that I can review the updates and inform the staff of changes they need to be aware of.

    Cons
    ACES Risk Management Corp (ARMCO)
    • Reporting is through Business Objects, which requires someone proficient in that technology. If ACES could provide more assistance in this area it would wonderful.
    • A more detailed user guide. Not all processes are explained well.
    • Provide the ability to view updates in a PDF format so that we can review them at one time instead of one item at a time.

    • Encompass is a powerful tool that is flexible and can be set up to meet your business needs. However, a guide of best practices in designing a workflow process would be a huge resource.
    • A feature that would be helpful is the ability to easily create pop up boxes that could allow users to identify errors in data being entered in to fields and direct them to a solution to easily correct the error.

    I am a long time user of Calyx software. I have loved using Calyx for most of my career. Early on, I did experience Encompass once and I felt it was too "management centric" at the time. After coming back to it now, I realize that my original feelings were more about distrust of my own management than the software itself.
