Technology Project Plan

Paper Summary:

In this article the writer defines the technology project plan for the development of the Long Beach Mortgage Broker Front Office Tool (LBM-BFOT). Included in this plan are definitions of hardware, software, and integration requirements for completing the BFOT development as defined in the business requirements analysis. The writer focuses on the critical functionality of support in FlashQuotes for loan modeling and pricing data in real-time from the loan origination systems (LOS), with a secondary requirement of uploading loan quotes from FlashQuotes to the LOS so they can be tracked electronically.

From the Paper:

"The primary design goal of both of these projects is to create thin client-based applications that can easily be delivered through a browser to any Long Beach Mortgage sales representative at any time. The reliance on J2EE programming standards for integrating application logic to the graphical interface is undergoing a significant change today with the widespread use of AJAX programming as well. While this emerging programming standard is admittedly complex, the essence of it is that only the changed parts of a web page or web application are propagated to the user interface via the browser. For both systems to be truly thin-client and deliver the level of performance necessary even in dial-up and slow DSL connections, the use of AJAX is a requirement for this project.
Additional programming standards include the use of XML for the integration of loan status and specifics regarding the loan applicant, loan modeling parameter, loan pricing and terms, and loan status applications that Long Beach Mortgage loan representatives can use in the context of the FlashQuote portal. In the context of the relationship between quoting and pricing, loan modeling, loan terms and rates analysis, and the loan close rates of business development, FlashQuote acts as a platform for unifying applications into a single strategy."
