In a recent discussion, Bressler detailed Sphere, a new standalone system from UWM designed to integrate loan origination with CRM, POS, and pricing functions. This system stands out in the wholesale mortgage community as it provides an end-to-end workflow. UWM chose not to develop its own broker LOS, citing lack of competitive necessity, but instead opted for Sphere to foster an open ecosystem. Bressler also emphasized the importance of his technology team's cohesion and strategic focus, crucial in leading innovation in the sector.
The Sphere system is attractive because it integrates various necessary functions, providing a seamless workflow which no other system, especially in wholesale, currently offers.
While UWM has a strong tech team, creating a broker LOS was deemed unnecessary due to lack of competition and the goal to foster an open ecosystem.
In large IT meetings and quarterly gatherings, I emphasize the importance of team alignment and commitment to core strategic pillars for effective technology leadership.
I'm deeply passionate about mentoring and managing tech leaders; that focus enables innovative thinking and promotes an effective culture within the technology division.
