Lender Toolkit launches IT services for ICE Encompass users

Lender Toolkit announced Monday the official launch of its IT services offering, designed specifically for lenders that use ICE Mortgage Technology‘s Encompass platform.

Lender Toolkit is a mortgage automation technology company and the creator of the industry’s only fully integrated Mortgage Efficiency Cooperative.

The company’s new IT services practice adds support for independent mortgage banks (IMBs) seeking to improve performance, reduce costs and align technology with business goals. It aims to mitigate inefficiencies and unify disconnected mortgage workflows.

“In today’s market, technology isn’t just a tool; it’s a strategic lever,” Joe Hamilton, solutions partner for IT services at Lender Toolkit, said in a statement. “The problem is that most lenders are overspending on outdated tools or underperforming vendors while firefighting daily issues.

“Our IT Services bring clarity, structure, and measurable impact to an area of the business that’s been operating in the dark for too long.”

Lender Toolkit’s IT Services are built to address “what’s silently undermining” operational efficiency. The offering includes IT budget audits; penetration testing and cybersecurity services; fractional CIO/CISO services; infrastructure support; targeted project leadership; and responsive help desk support.

“Lenders told us they were tired of juggling disconnected vendors and solving the same problems over and over,” said Brett Brumley, CEO of Lender Toolkit. “We listened. With IT Services, we’re not just solving Encompass challenges. We’re diagnosing the root cause across the entire tech stack. It’s all part of our commitment to being the one partner lenders need to scale efficiently.”
