How does OTIS maintain our client’s confidentiality?
We support CDFI client confidentiality. All individual client-level data is not accessible to Oweesta or Sweet Grass without being released by the CDFI through a built-in “report,” which can then only be viewed in aggregate. This data subsequently cannot be accessed or distributed by us without the consent of the CDFI.
How does the OTIS customization process work?
First, submit an inquiry.
Although we have created unique templates for forms based on almost all the kinds of services being delivered by Native CDFIs, OTIS is completely customizable. Through a series of discussions between your CDFI and our customization team, a customization plan is created based on both your need and budget. You can customize in three unique ways: modifying the existing template forms, importing existing data and integrating that historical data into OTIS, and building unique reports.
How long does OTIS customization take?
It depends on where you are in our que of organizations. Typically, the customization itself takes 1-3 months.
Does OTIS link with any other database systems?
As of now OTIS links with DownHome Loan Software (cloud version), however OTIS is in the process of linking with other systems.
