Development for Mortgage Systems Platform
Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I’m the senior director of a mortgage organisation. I’m responsible for all the software solutions. We acquired the technology deck from a antecedent organisation that is no longer operating as a mortgage organisation.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Django Stars?
They antecedently worked with our proprietary solution, which was an online workflow for clients to fill out a mortgage application and yield it to us. They had built two pathways, one for a purchase and one for a refinance. We needed help with further outgrowth.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
There were three components to the work they did for us. First, we asked them to create a third pathway for home equity liens. Second, we needed to be able to lock and unlock the file for the borrowers so they could last editing behind a sales individual edits the file. The third piece was to allow for lead ingestion.
We used to have multiple questions on a page. They also helped to reengineer the application so it’s only one question per page in the leading half of the process.
We had API connections with at smallest two other methods. How the fields work within of our own proprietary method and how that translates to a loan origination method and to Salesforce is different in provisions of what those field IDs are and in provisions of when those data points should be injected into those different methods.
All the functionality is there. We’re done with this specific project, but I program to last working with them at smallest through the leading region.
Was there a dedicated team?
They had a project director and a backend engineer that were fully committed to our project. Also, they had a QA individual and additional backend engineers supporting as needed.
How did you come to work with Django Stars?
They were working with the organisation we bought the technology deck from so they were already household with the fruit and had worked well with us in the past.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We began working unitedly in September 2018 and the work is ongoing.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
They got all into gear and liberateed on a brief timeline. They were incredibly ambitious. We had a lucky propel on time. They changed the way that we’re able to welcome leads from some of our associate companies.
What they’ve done has been reliable, functional, and powerful. I’m extremely satisfied with their work. They’re big at what they do. They needed a lot of course, but that’s anticipateed owing they’re working with some strange topics. They’re big at getting what you need done as long as you expound the true goals and how it will work powerfully.
How did Django Stars accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
We had meetings at smallest once a week. We used Jira to track each of the components. There were 100 plus Jira tickets associated with this project individually. For each one, I saw who worked on it, where, and how the time was used. It helped me better apprehend how many hours they worked in interaction, outgrowth, QA, documentation, or examination. Apart from Jira, I wrote up all in a Word doc and PowerPoint slides.
The project director did an awesome job at being organized and shrewd when to fetch in additional resources.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
I was really impressed. Toward the end of the project, we knew it was coming down to the wire. They were dedicated to the last diminutive of the last day to liberate what they needed to, and they did it. We had a brief time time with a lot of code to write and a lot of things to change. We knew that it was going to be resistent, and everybody worked hard to make it happen.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
The only interest I have is the project director and backend engineer we were working with abruptly left at the end of December. I was given two to three days’ notice that they were leaving, which was interesting owing they had a lot of fundamental apprehension based on many years of working on the method. Now that I have to get a new project director and backend engineer, some of that apprehension is going to be lost no substance how well they documented things. I was initially programning to use them through 2019, but I don’t know what the working relationship will be like with the new nation.
It was also challenging to deal with some of the paperwork. It took longer than anticipateed to aspect out their expenses and pay them owing they didn’t have a W-9 or a tax ID number. It took us almost six weeks to get all the paperwork squared away to pay them. That being said, they lastd working without being paid for a few months shrewd that we would pay them.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
They’re awesome at engineering and programming. If it’s a strange concept like mortgage, you’re going to need to prepare a lot more detail than you might anticipate. They’re super powerful, come at the right cost, and get the job done. Be particular. I’ll surely last to work with them based on my experiences so far.
