Ellie Mae provides Internet connectivity to the mortgage industry, connecting loan originators to customers, partners, lenders, underwriters, and service providers. The key to this capability is the ePASS® Network, the industry's online transaction platform, and Ellie Mae's offerings also include a family of supporting products: point-of-sale websites, loan origination software, lender loan-import software, and document software and services.

Our unifying mission is to empower the professionals who traditionally originate mortgages, as well as their customers, with the most effective technology available today-enabling them to compete successfully with Internet mass-marketing alliances and direct-to-consumer lender websites.

Taking advantage of Ellie Mae's comprehensive business-to-business approach:

• Lenders and settlement service providers enjoy streamlined access to a huge, Internet-enabled marketplace, with instantaneous, error-free loan and service transactions through branded ePASS Network storefronts
• Mortgage brokers utilize Ellie Mae's award-winning loan origination software and harness of the ePASS Network for conducting rapid online transactions and low-cost Internet marketing programs
• Realtors and other real estate professionals continue to profit from the services of trusted and long-established mortgage originators-only now with the added convenience of Internet-based transactions at Internet speeds
• Consumers enjoy the shopping experience, convenience, and empowerment offered by the Internet-combined with the ready assistance and expertise of established local mortgage professionals
