LBA Ware, a leading provider of automated compensation software and systems integration solutions for mortgage lenders, announced HousingWire magazine named its DevOps manager, Lisa Birmingham, a 2018 Insiders Award recipient.

Macon, Georgia-based LBA Ware, is a company in the Advanced Technology Development Center’s portfolio of startups.

Now in its third year, HousingWire’s Insiders Award program recognizes “operational all-stars” who “serve their companies in outstanding ways — through operations, product development, hiring, marketing campaigns, or making things more efficient.”

Birmingham was recognized for leveraging her considerable talents to help LBA Ware increase product enhancements and system adoption over the course of her two-year tenure at the company. Her deep background in mortgage financial technology and laser-like focus on stellar system performance and client satisfaction has played a critical role in LBA Ware’s success. Her work has enabled the firm to increase subscriptions to its system integration platform by nearly 250 percent.

“Lisa was a key hire for us in 2016 and has never failed to impress us with her dedication, ideas and overall exemplary performance,” said Lori Brewer, LBA Ware’s founder and CEO. “Clients rave about Lisa, her attention to detail, her quick response rate and her ceaseless caring about their well-being and overall happiness with LBA Ware’s quality of work. I am grateful for her hard work and contributions.”

In addition to her development contributions, Birmingham is heavily involved in LBA Ware’s internal operations, and serves as a member of the SOC and Vendor Management committees and the Disaster Recovery Team. She also serves as the company-wide resource on loan origination system (LOS) functionality and provides training to all LBA Ware staff members on the various LOS’ that integrate with LBA Ware’s platforms.

“I take pride in my ability to identify opportunities for process optimization and bring increases in efficiency and production to the projects I work on,” Birmingham said. “It is a high compliment to be nominated by my colleagues for the Insiders Award.”
