Ellie Mae was founded in 1997 to leverage the power of the Internet for mortgage originators.

We started by hosting mortgage websites and over the years, our company grew through the development of the Ellie Mae Network for electronic mortgage transactions, the Encompass Mortgage Management Solution software and accompanying products and services such as Encompass CenterWise™ websites and electronic document management services and Encompass Closer™ document preparation services.

As Ellie Mae grew and our network, software and services evolved, so did our client base, starting with mortgage brokers and expanding to include mortgage bankers, community banks, credit unions and regional and national lenders.

In 2008, Ellie Mae acquired certain assets of Online Documents Inc., a provider of mortgage documents, including closing documents and disclosures, and in 2009, we acquired Mavent Inc., a provider of automated compliance solutions for the mortgage industry.

Also in 2009, we proudly launched Encompass360, software that we believe provides a revolutionary approach to automating and streamlining each step in the mortgage process, from origination and processing to closing, business intelligence and reporting.

In January 2011, Ellie Mae acquired substantially all the assets of Mortgage Pricing System, LLC, including the company’s LEAP loan eligibility and pricing product, and launched the integrated Encompass Product and Pricing Service™.

In April 2011, Ellie Mae announced the pricing of our initial public offering on the NYSE Amex under the symbol ELLI.

In August 2011, we acquired Del Mar Datatrac, Inc., a leading provider of mortgage lending solutions for processing and funding loans, creating workflow efficiencies, managing secondary marketing transactions, and reporting and business intelligence.

We estimate that up to 20% of new residential mortgages in the United States are initiated over the Ellie Mae Network™ using Encompass® software each year.

Here are some of the key milestones we’ve achieved over the past 14 years:
