Campaign Management System Component

Campaign Operations for Mortgage Banking Institutions form the backbone of the marketing and sales efforts and act as the main source of creating new business opportunities. The aim of Visionet’s Campaign Management System component within VisiRetention® is to automate the Mortgage Marketing process including the Portfolio Population/Refresh, Campaign Preparation and Analysis, Campaign Execution, and Reporting using a workflow based solution.

Automated Workflow Management significantly improves speed and accuracy of campaigning operations and provides a higher level of visibility and management control.

CMS - System Integration

The Campaign Management System module in VisiRetention® provides the marketing staff with a user friendly interface to enter data directly into the central system in which all the campaign related data is generated and maintained ensuring that the information remains up-to-date.

Leveraging Workflow Automation, our solution provides flexibility in conducting campaign analysis, preparation and execution. The solution also provides a number of MIS reports and features automated generation of e-mail notifications along with escalation of tasks, resulting in improved process efficiency.

Mortgage Banking Institutions require a comprehensive, flexible and scalable Campaign Management System that integrates well with their other existing systems. Visionet’s Campaign Management System provides the capability for automated Workflow Management that allows users to complete their tasks in an efficient and timely fashion(This is stated already 3 paragraphs above).
The existing system/processes within most mortgage banking institutions are mainly based on manual processes and work sheets, and require significant manual effort, causing excess delays in the execution, marketing the campaigns, audit trail, and in-depth reporting. This results in delays in critical decision making processes and planning.

Some of the major drawbacks of the typical system/process include the following:

• Analysis and preparation of campaigns is based on manual and/or ad-hoc processes and work sheets, causing inefficiencies and delays in marketing the campaign.
• Interfaces with outside entities, inbound and/or outbound, are conducted manually, using MS Excel, email, text file etc.
• Since campaign specific data does not reside in structured databases, thus it is not available for reporting to be used for business analytics, critical decision making and planning process.
• Audit trail and history maintenance is difficult.

Visionet’s Campaign Management System eliminates the dependence on ad hoc procedures currently used by most mortgage banks, and makes the data available for business critical reporting. This system also provides the structured database for convenient generation of reports to be used for analytical decisions and planning.
