VIDEO INTERVIEW: Jeff Lezinski, Senior VP, Solution Architecture at Odessa describes how the equipment finance industry is moving rapidly toward requiring mobile access to platforms in order to enhance and expedite transaction flow. This requires the need for many technology solutions to talk to each other, and as a result, technology providers must stay up to speed with a host of technological integrations – which can be challenging.

Lezinski also describes how some finance companies struggle with upgrades and why a team is required to determine the best course required in order to fully integrate a new platform. He further describes how many finance companies are still working within legacy systems with “bolt on” applications, and how this can be problematic for anyone seeking a platform upgrade. It’s rare that just one system is being replaced according to Lezinski. Rather typically a software platform change involves replacing an ecosystem of systems, which requires a true prioritization by a team within the company on where to begin the process, and the required end result.
