Summary:This target should consider, for example, how the combined entity should be structured, how its operations as a combined entity will differ from the operations of the separate entities, whether there are previously unidentified opportunities to leverage the businesses, and in what instances it would be more beneficial to leave the operations autonomous. Factors to consider when developing the target environment model include the long-term strategy for the combined entity, the short- and long-term impact of various strategies on service levels, volumes, quality, and speed of delivery, systems limitations, human resource issues, corporate cultures, and competitive factors. To the extent possible, brainstorm target environment configurations without being limited to examples in the mortgage banking industry. Consider current best practices in the mortgage industry, then look beyond how mortgages are originated and serviced today, to how this process could evolve. Ideally, integration should be an opportunity to restructure and alter processes to maximize performance.
