Fiorano Software, a provider of integration solutions, says Quicken Loans, “the largest online mortgage lender and the 17th largest retail mortgage lender in the U.S. (from more than 40,000 lending entities) has selected Fiorano ESB to enhance its existing record management and workflow platforms.”
Fiorano gave these details:
"We needed to find a middle tier development and messaging solution that would allow us to move towards our goals of standardization, component based architecture, security and scalability, while still leveraging our varied skill sets and maximizing the lifecycle of our platforms," said Warren Hampton, Senior E-Commerce Architect at Quicken Loans. "In addition, we were looking to solve many of the issues that all technology teams face such as code reusability, ease of administration, lifecycle management, testing, and proactive system alerts."
"After several months of demonstrations, in-house product evaluations and testing, we decided to go with the Fiorano ESB platform, because we felt there were some distinct advantages," said Hampton. "Fiorano ESB brings us the tools, scalability, flexibility, ease of use and a rich feature set combined with the cost efficiency we were looking for. The well designed architecture allows for safe, unobtrusive deployment without disrupting our existing platforms. The strength of their customer service and developer support was another major factor in our decision to go with Fiorano."
"Fiorano ESB has seamlessly brought to us a powerful service oriented architecture platform that continues to prove its ability to change and adapt to our ever evolving business climate. We have received additional benefits in the areas of code reusability, enforcement of standards such as XML schemas and EDI specifications, error handling, interactive debugging and roll back scenarios - all of these bring us closer to achieving our future goals," he added.
“By unifying different disciplines such as Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) in a single platform, Fiorano ESB enabled change management to become a simple and cost effective exercise, allowing businesses to rapidly respond to market requirements," said Atul Saini, President and CEO of Fiorano. "Highly competitive and aggressive pricing, combined with first-class customer support allows Fiorano to redefine the economics of business integration, delivering significant value and accelerated productivity to customers worldwide," he added.
