Know the Differences between the web and desktop integrations of Encompass.

With Encompass Partner Connect (EPC), ICE Mortgage Technology has replaced the outdated SDK framework with a modern, API-driven cloud platform. This transition enhances security, scalability, and operational efficiency, making the web integration on Encompass a far superior solution to its legacy desktop counterpart.

How Encompass Partner Connect Enhances Efficiency

1. Eliminates Local Dependencies: Unlike PSDK, which required an on-premise installation, EPC operates entirely in the cloud, reducing IT overhead and maintenance costs.

2. Real-time API Calls: EPC’s modern RESTful API enables instant communication between lenders and third-party service providers, reducing delays in data exchange.

3. Enhanced Security & Compliance: EPC leverages OAuth 2.0 authentication, token-based security, and ICE Mortgage’s cloud infrastructure to protect sensitive borrower data.

4. Faster and More Scalable: Cloud-hosted APIs allow lenders to scale operations without worrying about system slowdowns. With EPC, users get real-time updates instead of waiting for periodic syncs.

5. Seamless User Experience in Encompass Web: Since Encompass Web is browser-based, users can access the system from anywhere without needing to install or maintain a thick client (desktop software).

6. Reduced Development Effort: Third-party vendors and lenders can integrate services into Encompass Web more easily with EPC than they could with PSDK, which required complex SDK implementations.
