Earlier this year, Richey May boosted its tech offerings by acquiring Amata Solutions, a provider of planning and business intelligence tools for mortgage lenders.

As part of the deal, Benjamin Duke, Amata Solutions’ founder, assumed the role of executive director of business intelligence and planning with Richey May Technology Solutions. Richey May saw the value in Duke’s solutions and brought him on board to help the firm’s clients grow smarter and faster. Duke developed planning, forecasting and business intelligence tools that empower lenders to make more confident, strategic business decisions based on real-time data. The tools he developed can be applied to all areas of the mortgage business and can be integrated across a mortgage lender’s platforms, including their customer relationship management software, loan origination system and general ledger software.
