The clock is ticking for businesses using the Encompass Software Development Kit (SDK) and Partner Software Developer Kit (PSDK). With the October 2025 sunset fast approaching, companies must transition to Encompass Partner Connect (EPC) to ensure their products continue to be available to lenders in the Encompass system.
Failing to migrate in time can lead to serious disruptions—outdated integrations, potential security vulnerabilities and an operational backlog. But the good news is that Authority Partners is here to help.
As a trusted partner, we’ve successfully navigated this transition for clients, and we’re here to guide your business through the EPC integration process smoothly, efficiently and without costly delays.
Encompass Partner Connect is the future of mortgage technology integrations to the Encompass Loan Origination System. EPC is a significant upgrade from the legacy SDK, offering real-time API connectivity and a fully rebuilt infrastructure designed to simplify processes and ensure smoother, more secure data flows.
Transitioning to EPC will keep your business ahead of industry changes and ensure that you’re using cutting-edge technology for loan origination.
By October 31, 2025, ICE Mortgage Technology plans to discontinue legacy integrations for its main Encompass platform—a change that aims to modernize the mortgage industry, even if some vendors and lenders are resistant to adapt.
By acting early, you avoid the last-minute scramble and ensure your system is future proofed well before the deadline.
