Lendio Announces the Beta Launch of Its Cloud-Based, Lender Technology Platform

Lendio | February 24, 2022

Lendio Announces
Lendio, the nation’s leading small business financial solutions marketplace, announced the beta launch of its new lender-tech platform and loan origination software (LOS). This cloud-based platform will be the first to truly empower financial institutions with greater efficiency, speed and reduced risk while delivering a customer-centric and seamless experience for borrowers.

The LOS was developed to address specific pain points in business lending and allow Financial Institutions (FIs) to issue business loans at scale. The Lendio platform provides complete end-to-end LOS automated underwriting and eliminates the need for expensive manual loan processing, reducing costs and allowing FIs to expand the base of creditworthy customers.

During the past two years and through PPP, we saw the challenges, inefficiencies, and inequities in business lending and the marketplace need for banks, lenders, and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) to have better lending solutions and technology to serve business customers, especially small businesses,” 

Lendio CEO Brock Blake

The technology’s beta launch is being coordinated with two of Lendio’s key partners from the Lendio Marketplace ecosystem of financial institutions. Each will have early access and provide feedback on features, workflows, roadmaps, and the customer experience.

Long-term, the lender-tech platform and LOS will become the foundation for a customer-centric product for banks, alternative lenders, and CDFIs seeking efficient and affordable underwriting solutions.

"We are overjoyed to enter the hands-on testing phase of our lender-tech platform after all of the work and dedication put into developing it," says Lendio Lender Tech & Services GM and Head of Corporate Strategy, Denada Ramnishta. "Working in collaboration with our FI partners and leveraging their input and insights will be key to fulfilling Lendio’s mission of making business lending efficient, seamless, and accessible to all business owners. We’re excited to rethink what’s possible for business lending."

Lendio anticipates an official launch of its lender-tech platform later in 2022.

Wasabi Technologies | February 02, 2023

On February 1, 2023, the cloud storage company, Wasabi Technologies, introduced Wasabi Surveillance Cloud, a first-of-its-kind solution that avails organizations to offload video surveillance footage from local storage to the cloud without running out of space. This 'bottomless' approach to video storage is important for the surveillance industry, which is currently struggling to handle a lot of videos in high-resolution environments, growing file sizes, retention requirements, and strict regulatory and business and analytics applications tied to surveillance. Wasabi Surveillance Cloud addresses storage space, resolution related and other challenges head-on by designing a seamless hybrid storage environment that preserves present on-site technology investments and maximizes their ROI without letting them lose any of the benefits. Users of every significant video management system (VMS) can move videos that are not used often directly from their on-site servers to Wasabi hot cloud storage, which involves low cost than AWS S3, Google, or Microsoft Azure and doesn't charge for egress or API requests. The data on the video is kept "hot" so that it is always available and can be retrieved in milliseconds. With Wasabi Surveillance Cloud, a VMS technology that was once separated from the cloud, becomes cloud-aware in an instant, making it easy to switch to cloud storage. Wasabi Surveillance Cloud's Key benefits include easy integration with all of the major VMS providers, Industry-leading protection with immutability to stop ransomware or accidental deletions, data and video restoration direct from the cloud, globally deployed in top-tier data centers certified for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS, on-demand scaling ability to avoid costlier server upgrades and to increase the framerate and resolution. Additionally, HIPAA, CJIS, FERPA, FINRA, and other primary industry and government regulations and retention requirements are fulfilled with this solution's help. About Wasabi Technologies Founded in 2017, Wasabi Technologies is a hot cloud storage company. Hot cloud storage is easy to use, low-cost, and quick to write to.
