Things We Do
- Collect data related to efficiency and quality.
- Get overall impression of dependence on outdated or ineffective technologies
(e.g. email).
What Do We Do
- Seal Team
- We spend 2 hours each with representatives for the following roles:
- Loan Officer
- Set-up/LOA
- Disclosure desk (if applicable)
- Processor
- Underwriter
- Closer/Funder
- For each role, we have a set of focused questions we ask to ensure we address common pain points.
Things We Do
- Correlate the inefficiencies identified with available technologies and solutions.
- Quantify potential ROI and “time to impact” for each option.
- What makes us different? Our approach is not to find places & things to sell you, it is to find the friction points in your process that can be improved. Sometimes it’s the technology and sometimes it is a change in your process.
What You Get
- A roadmap of quick hit and long-term opportunities to use technology to improve your organizational effectiveness.
- Each item is scored for Risk, Reward/ROI, and Readiness.

- A roadmap of Quick Hit and long-term opportunities to use technology to improve your organizational effectiveness.
- Each item is scored for Risk, Reward/ROI, and readiness
At the completion of a Technology Assessment, you get a roadmap that clearly depicts:
- The priority of the opportunities for improvement, including quick hit improvements.
- An estimated ROI payback time frame.
- A risk rating based on the complexity of implementing the change.
Process Optimization (Current State)
For larger customers that want an end-to-end deep dive
- Brimma collaborates with client teams to understand what happens and why for “Root Cause Analysis”.
- We dig into “Pre-conditions” of status, data and documents to group logical “Event Trigger” points
- Collectively we identify process friction points for automation
Current State - Typically highly manual task-oriented
Process Optimization (Future State)
Future state envisions all of the possible automations
- Common to eliminate 75-80% of manual effort (e.g. 24 manual steps reduced to 5 in the example above).
- Each automation maps back to your custom roadmap representing your priorities, risk appetite, and change readiness
