eOriginal, Inc. today announced it has been named by HousingWire to the 2018 HW TECH100™, recognizing the most innovative technology companies in the housing and mortgage finance industry. The HW TECH100™ is the only ranking of tech innovation that captures the entire U.S. housing economy, spanning real estate to mortgage lending, servicing, and investments. This ranking comes on the heels of eOriginal’s placement on Deloitte’s 2017 Technology Fast 500™.

“We are incredibly honored to be featured among the industry’s most innovative companies as part of the HW TECH100™,” said Simon Moir, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Digital Mortgage. “eOriginal is a pioneer in the digital mortgage ecosystem and we are committed to educating the industry on the benefits of digital transformation.”

Through its platform, eOriginal delivers a fully digital mortgage and supports every type of digital closing strategy. The solution has been pivotal to the scalability and adoption of technology in the mortgage ecosystem for companies such as Fannie Mae and Quicken Loans.

“The companies that make up the 2018 HW TECH100™ are the cream of the crop of the entire housing industry, from real estate to mortgage lending, servicing, and investment,” said HousingWire Senior Financial Reporter Ben Lane. “These companies aren’t just taking part in the housing industry’s technological revolution; they’re leading it.”

According to HousingWire, the quantity of applicants for the 2018 awards increased from previous years and the final list of 100 companies demonstrates the depth and range of technology solutions that are available for those operating in the housing economy.

“The number of fintech companies serving the mortgage industry has exploded over the last several years — making the choice of just 100 companies this year very difficult,” said HousingWire Magazine Editor Sarah Wheeler. “Companies in the 2018 Tech100 represent the leading edge of solutions and services that will propel mortgage companies toward success."

eOriginal pioneered the first digital mortgage in 2000. In 2017, Fannie Mae, the largest government-sponsored enterprise in the United States, selected eOriginal for the launch of its next generation electronic vault, which involved moving billions of dollars of assets onto its hosted platform to enable the secure management of eNotes throughout their lifecycle. Fannie Mae’s utilization of eOriginal’s platform validated the benefits of the company’s platform, including enhanced management capabilities, accelerated deployment, and reduced overall costs.
