About Mortgage Workspace

Mortgage Workspace (MWS) is more than just a product – it’s both a cloud platform and a brand built by Access Business Technologies (ABT), a pioneer with over two decades of mortgage technology experience. We launched MWS to give mortgage companies a dedicated, security-first cloud environment that simplifies IT and lets them focus on what they do best: originating and serving loans.

Our Journey

Our story began in 1999, when ABT introduced one of the first secure cloud solutions for mortgage companies. Back then, the idea of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for banks and credit unions was groundbreaking, and it helped redefine how mortgage IT could be done. Over the years, we grew from those innovative beginnings to support more than 750 mortgage companies, banks, and credit unions nationwide. In serving organizations of all sizes, from independent brokers to regional banks, we honed our expertise in the mortgage vertical and built a reputation as the go-to technology partner for the industry.

As our client base expanded, we recognized the need to bring clarity and focus to the specialized IT, cloud, and security services mortgage businesses require. That realization led to the creation of Mortgage Workspace as a unified platform. Today, MWS stands as the embodiment of our experience and commitment, providing mortgage companies with a one-stop, purpose-built cloud workspace backed by a team that understands their world.

Built for Every Mortgage Company

Whether you’re an independent mortgage banker, a broker, a credit union, or a regional bank, Mortgage Workspace is designed to support your unique needs. We’ve worked with fast-growing IMBs and century-old community banks alike, so we appreciate the nuances of each business model. MWS adapts to you – offering the scalability and customization to serve a five-person brokerage just as confidently as a 500-person national lender.

Importantly, Mortgage Workspace isn’t just a generic cloud – it’s an industry-specific ecosystem. Our team speaks your language: LOS rollouts, loan officer onboarding, secure borrower file sharing, compliance deadlines. With deep mortgage expertise, we anticipate issues, streamline setup, and proactively craft solutions that make life easier for your IT staff and loan teams alike.

What Makes MWS Different

Seamless Integration: Interfaces are key. Mortgage Workspace ties together your LOS, CRM, servicing, and core banking platforms into one secure hub. No more data silos or double entry — MWS acts as the connective tissue that makes information flow.
Exclusive Microsoft Partnership: As a Tier 1 Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider with Premier Support, MWS clients get direct access to Microsoft’s top engineers, Azure hosting, and enterprise-grade reliability without a middleman.
Security-First Approach: MWS exceeds banking-level standards with 24/7 monitoring, MFA, encryption, and incident response readiness, ensuring sensitive mortgage data stays protected.
Mortgage Expertise: With 20+ years of sole focus on mortgage IT and over 750 companies served, our team understands the compliance pressures, software integrations, and workflow quirks unique to the industry.

Mortgage Workspace provides both the infrastructure and the tools to elevate your business: secure desktops, servers, and storage in Azure combined with a suite of mortgage-specific solutions like Guardian Insights, Mortgage BI, and MortgageExchange. This means your company gets the backbone it needs, plus the intelligence to drive growth and compliance.

“Mortgage Workspace is the backbone of your business—keeping systems strong, secure, and connected, so your people can do their best work.” — Justin Kirsch, CEO of Access Business Technologies

At the end of the day, Mortgage Workspace is about empowerment. It gives mortgage leaders confidence that their IT just works — securely, seamlessly, and intelligently — so they can focus on borrowers and growth. In today’s fast-paced mortgage tech landscape, MWS offers both stability and innovation, helping your organization stay ready, resilient, and ahead of change.
