Empower is an enterprisewide loan origination system (LOS) that supports the retail, consumer direct and wholesale origination channels. Available as both an ASP- and lender-hosted solution, Empower provides functionality for lenders to manage every facet of the loan origination process— from point-of-sale to post-closing. As part of its many features and capabilities, Empower provides access to several Web portals, so lenders can share information with third-party service providers and track any changes to fees for compliance and audits. Black Knight also offers a robust lead and customer relationship management solution called SalesEdge ® . Integrated with both Empower and MSP ® , Black Knight's loan servicing system, this Web-based solution helps retail loan officers and call center personnel obtain, track, and convert leads quickly and easily within a single user interface. Effective Oct. 3, 2015, Empower will also be integrated with Black Knight's Closing Insight ™ technology, which provides a workflow-driven online solution to streamline the closing process and the reconciliation of fees between lenders and settlement agents in support of the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule requirements. LendingSpace is a scalable, Web-based LOS designed specifically for the correspondent lending market. This system facilitates real-time collaboration between lenders and their correspondents, and helps ensure the lender's compliance rules are being followed throughout the process. Supporting these solutions is Driver ™ , a comprehensive reporting and analytical tool for lenders to quickly and easily create a variety of operational reports based on data from the LOS. To help reduce loan repurchase risk and drive efficiencies in the mortgage transaction, Black Knight Origination Technologies' solutions also integrate seamlessly with a suite of loan quality tools offered by RealEC ® Technologies, a division of Black Knight.
