They have been identified as leaders who are ensuring the future success for their companies and the industry as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Regalbuto was cited by PROGRESS in Lending for helping spearhead a technology undertaking that offers OpenClose\u2019s own POS digital mortgage technology, consolidating it with their enterprise consumer direct solution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openclose.com\/pos-automation\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">ConsumerAssist&#x2122;<\/a>. The offering enables OpenClose to provide a robust digital mortgage solution starting at the POS with key functions like 1003 capture, VOE, VOI, VOA, and tax returns \u2014 with instant validation from first party data sources. Credit is then pulled and the loan seamlessly and swiftly moves to underwriting for automated decisioning within OpenClose\u2019s fully browser-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openclose.com\/loan-origination-software\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">LenderAssist&#x2122;<\/a> LOS.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the offering provides real-time interaction with the borrower throughout the loan fulfillment process. Regalbuto was instrumental in this major technology and business breakthrough to penetrate the digital space, which has disrupted the existing modularized POS technology models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased to be honored by PROGRESS in Lending Association to receive its inaugural Lending Luminary award,\u201d said Regalbuto. \u201cWe have made great strides developing OpenClose into one of the mortgage industry\u2019s leading LOS platforms. To date, we are the only technology vendor proven to offer a comprehensive, purely browser-based LOS with multi-channel capability, along with both front-end digital POS and back-office LOS functionality via a single provider that is successful taking lender customers live. Our competitors are merely copying our marketplace positioning, messaging and value proposition. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as they say. It\u2019s a very exciting time to be a part of OpenClose\u2019s wildly successful and rapid growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serving as both CEO and CTO for OpenClose, Regalbuto helps shape the company\u2019s vision and marketplace positioning, strategic design of its core technology platform, development and enhancements of additional software modules, as well as the on-going development of new products, integrations, and innovative technology initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, Regalbuto says he plans on focusing on incorporating the latest technologies into the existing OpenClose technology stack in order to satisfy multiple types of lender, borrower, and marketplace needs. Sophisticated technologies such as Business Intelligence (BI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Auto-tasking, Mobile App integrations, and more are all on his radar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About OpenClose:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1999 and headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, OpenClose\u00ae is a leading enterprise-class, multi-channel loan origination system (LOS), POS digital mortgage and fintech provider that cost effectively delivers its digital platform on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis.
