Ellie Mae Partners with CCMC to Enable seamless Connectivity to Disparate Systems

CCMC's interfaces save time and money for users of Encompass loan origination system

Dublin, CA—August 16, 2006—Ellie Mae, an award-winning provider of innovative software and services for the mortgage industry, has announced that it has partnered with CCMC, a leading provider of financial services industry platform interfaces, to deliver time-saving and error-reducing interface solutions to Encompass® Mortgage Automation System clients.

"As a result of the high number of varying niche software programs utilized in the mortgage industry today, a critical part of doing business relies on having interfaces which move information from software to software without having to re-key information," said Jonathan Corr, Ellie Mae's chief strategy officer. "Therefore, the ability to seamlessly interface data to and from Encompass has great value. For this, we have partnered with CCMC, a company which excels in this area of technology."

"Encompass users can benefit by using CCMC's applications to interface data from a non-Ellie Mae front-end web-based application to Encompass, as well as from Encompass to the host servicing side of the business," explained David Willis, president of CCMC.

CCMC's Bridge technology eliminates duplicate data entry by providing automated interfaces for Encompass. The end result is a more efficient workflow that reduces errors and improves the bottom line for mortgage companies, banks, and credit unions that choose to interface disparate systems. Customers will now be provided with a seamless interface with which to move information in and out of Encompass.

"Together with Ellie Mae, we are offering a wide variety of solutions that can serve clients in the community, regional, and national markets," added Willis.
