Ensure that business operations teams have the appropriate software tools to effectively and efficiently manage data, so that business decisions are then made consistently using the most accurate business data available.
Challenges
Ensure clean and correct data is collected and integrated from 100+ data sources including:mortgage data, real estate attributes, securities created from the repackaging of loans.
Collect and present information about how critical business data enters, flows through, and is changed by multiple internal processing and reporting applications, ensuring traceability to the individual user at the subject area (loan, security, property) level.
