We hope everyone had a safe and sound Thanksgiving here in the United States. We all took a few days off but we didn’t take our eyes off of the most important thing we do here, release more features and functionality for you, our partners and clients.
We are headed from Big Pineapple to the Big Apple! Sam and I will be presenting in New York City as part of the Techstars Demo Day. Read more about it here. We will be pitching in front of 400+ technologies, journalists and venture capitalists at the heart at the Google New York City office! We are excited and can’t wait to see ya’ll there.
We have some new features that you will love in this release. We are able to call sequential third parties depending on the outcome of particular branches within a tree. Previously, only one third party integration partner can be called per tree regardless of the branch level outcomes. This feature grants a tremendous amount of flexibility to how sophisticated banks operate today.
And if you want to beautify content on each page within the product studio, we added rich text editing functionality within the Product Studio!
We have also released a new Tool which we like to call “Shadow Scoring”. This gives the ability for Banks to run their new strategies in production without causing any actual outcomes to take place. This allows banks to do a full body test of their new strategies and new integrated partners without hampering production results before new strategies are introduced.
We have a tremendous amount of product features lined up before the end of this year and we can’t wait to unveil our new Mortgage Application built with our product studio which will work flawlessly with our 1003 microservice as well as our MISMO format API.
