MSDN Industry Center - Banking - Reference Application Pack for Loan Origination Systems

This article describes the Loan Origination Reference Architecture Pack. Learn more about composite applications, and how to build them on the 2007 Office System. We will use a banking scenario to focus on some of the specific needs for financial services. This scenario will provide means for partners and customers to integrate banking applications and establish consistency in this integration.

By using our Loan Origination architecture as a sounding board this article will serve as a guide for architects who want to design banking solutions that are compliant with the latest regulatory laws. There is no one-to-one mapping or checklist to solve these issues. However, this article will provide some interesting insight on how these regulatory concerns can be addressed using the latest Microsoft technologies. We will be using a business scenario coupled with many of the technology challenges in banking.

This article will serve as a guide for architects who want to design, enhance, or augment existing workflows from within the loan origination channel. We will highlight how to automate the manual steps in the loan origination process. Additionally we will explore unifying multiple loan channels and origination systems (LOS). 

Developers and architects who seek more detail on how to build Office Business Applications (OBAs) for the financial-services industry can use this article to walk through development aspects of the Reference Application Pack (RAP) for the Loan-Origination Systems (OR-LOS) solution. Although this is only one way of developing a specific architecture for a specific application, developers can gain valuable insights from the process and the technologies employed in the OR-LOS architecture.
