Ellie Mae® (NYSE MKT: ELLI), a leading provider of enterprise
level, on-demand automated solutions for the residential mortgage
industry, today announced that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office has issued the Company a patent for an advanced
security model that enables managers, loan officers and processors
to securely access critical loan files and documents online. The
Company now holds six patents.
The invention––U.S. Patent number 8,126,920 entitled,
“Enterprise Security Management System Using Hierarchical
Organization and Multiple Ownership Structure”––is a hierarchical
organization and security model for networked computing. It allows
multiple ownership of system files and resources while maintaining
flexibility of organizational control and strict security rules
over the users. In other words, Ellie Mae’s technology allows loan
origination system and other networked computer users to access,
work and collaborate securely on files and documents. In addition,
a user’s access and/or ability to make changes may be limited or
controlled by members higher up in the organization or network. For
example, a lender can restrict what actions a mortgage manager can
perform on loan files and documents or limit what a loan officer or
processor can approve and what data and files they can access.
“As our industry migrates to cloud computing and software as a
service (SaaS), new opportunities and challenges for clients are
being created,” said Limin Hu, Ellie Mae’s co-founder and chief
technology officer. “On one hand, this new paradigm enables greater
access and efficiency within organizations and supply chains; on
the other hand, it also increases the possibility of security
lapses. Our new, patented technology addresses both the
productivity and security concerns of our clients, and we believe
may have applications beyond the mortgage industry.”
