Ellie Mae, a la mode Form Alliance

Dublin, Calif.-based Ellie Mae has announced that it will integrate its three loan origination tools (Encompass, Genesis, and Contour) as well as its ePASS portal exclusively to a la mode's appraisal products.Through the partnership, Ellie Mae said its users will be able to order appraisers directly via an integration with a la mode's AppraiserXSite network of appraiser websites. The appraiser will then be able to push back the completed report through its individual XSite website (provided by a la mode) to its Ellie Mae clients, resulting in the automatic population of the data into the loan origination system without any rekeying. The announcement was made at the first annual a la mode Appraiser Convention in Las Vegas. Ellie Mae can be found online at http://www.elliemae.com.
