MSDN Industry Center - Banking - Reference Application Pack for Loan Origination Systems

In the loan origination business, there are many business drivers for banks: process consolidation, regulatory compliance, and faster product delivery (loan completion). Loan products change frequently and are usually dynamic based on location (regional or state). Developing and modifying products in an agile manner enables banks to be highly competitive and adaptable in key markets. Also, compiling and staying on top of regulatory laws is always a challenge given the turbulent changes happening in the industry today. Banks are now trying to consolidate processes to reduce this complexity and maximize value.

To achieve these objectives the Office Business Application (OBA) Reference Application Pack for Loan Origination Systems (OR-LOS) will provide:

Building feature-rich, composite-style applications is the goal of architecture. Using this technology, financial services organizations can migrate to an SOA with more ease than ever before. We will use Microsoft’s 2007 Office System provides a platform for building composite solutions, called Office Business Applications (OBAs), designed to support cross-functional processes and allow information workers to collaborate. Additionally we will use BizTalk to provide rich message business features.
