About ASC
Associated Software Consultants, Inc. (ASC) develops and supports loan automation software solutions for the primary and secondary mortgage market. This has been our only endeavor since our founding in 1978. We attribute our steady growth throughout the years to our focus on lending software, which remains our only business.
Our mission is to provide ‘best of breed’ computer software and support services that enable lenders to improve the volume and quality of their lending business; to streamline workflow and reduce processing costs; to enhance their overall operation and improve their overall profitability; and to better serve their borrowers and other constituents.
It is our goal to develop software products that enable users to make changes to business functionality without programming or other vendor assistance; to let lenders choose and change operating systems, databases, deployment options and the other components of their IT infrastructure; and to construct them using leading development tools.
It is also our goal is to provide customers with “Service Beyond Expectations”. Toward this end, we provide outstanding support 7 days a week, 24 hours a day under the most comprehensive support agreement in the industry, and our skilled, trained and experienced professionals are here to help every step of the way.
