To achieve this objective, the company wanted to replace the legacy mainframe system with a platform that supported its goal of minimizing and mitigating organizational and system technology risk while increasing data quality.

The company partnered with HCLTech to replace its current system with a new platform that allowed the client to improve its entire contract and loan servicing management processes.
