DSNews The homepage of the servicing industry
On Thursday, September 9, the latest in the DS News Webinar Series, "ABCs of B2B Integration for Seamless Servicing," sponsored by Freddie Mac, will be held from 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. CDT. Featured speakers for the webinar include Cecelia Raine, VP, Servicing Strategy and Integration for Freddie Mac, and Uday Devalla, Chief Technology Officer of Sagent.
Servicing is going through a transformation, and B2B integration is emerging as a new normal for conducting business. The past year brought to light how paramount it is to have automation built into digital platforms. The mortgage servicing industry needs the tools to be responsive to homeowners, especially during times of elevated delinquencies. B2B integration boosts efficiency and provides value where organizations need it the most. This webinar will feature industry leaders discussing this trending dynamic in mortgage servicing.
During this webinar you’ll walk away with answers to these questions:
- What is B2B integration and how does it work?
- What are some examples of B2B in loan servicing?
- How does it benefit me and my organization?
- How are homeowners positively impacted?
- What B2B opportunities exist today?
- Where can I learn more?
