Dark Matter Technologies adds side-by-side results comparison and automated, rules-based reviews to dual AUS feature in the Empower LOS

New functionality helps originators quickly compare findings and see more options for borrowers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced enhancements to the dual automated underwriting system (AUS) submission feature within the Empower® loan origination system (LOS). When users submit loan data simultaneously to the AUS for both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs), the Empower LOS will now display the GSEs’ respective AUS findings side by side along with rules-based loan recommendations powered by the AIVA® Rules engine.

Image caption: Dark Matter Technologies.

The side-by-side display of AUS findings helps loan originators quickly compare results from the GSEs to identify the most favorable option for each borrower. This can surface opportunities to save money or shorten the loan process. For example, if one GSE’s findings indicate the property qualifies for an appraisal waiver while the other does not, the borrower could potentially save hundreds of dollars in appraisal costs and close several days sooner.

Dual AUS functionality in the Empower LOS is further enhanced by the AIVA Rules engine, which analyzes AUS results and recommends the loan path that best fits the lender’s business rules. The engine comes pre-configured with default logic and can be tailored to align with company-specific policies, helping drive consistency and efficiency in loan production.

“Dark Matter’s approach to innovation is tightly focused on helping lenders curb the runaway time and expense of loan origination while delivering outstanding borrower experiences,” said Sean Dugan, CEO at Dark Matter. “Our enhanced dual AUS functionality within the Empower LOS gives originators timely, actionable insights to help borrowers secure the best loan — all while supporting faster, more efficient production.”

Freddie Mac collaborated with Dark Matter on this initiative. “By supporting dual AUS submission, Dark Matter is helping lenders recommend the best-fit loan for each borrower early in the process,” said Christina Randolph, vice president of distribution at Freddie Mac. This capability helps streamline decision-making and reduce costs while ultimately delivering a smoother, faster experience for borrowers — key outcomes we’re committed to supporting.”

Operating with the nimble nature of a startup and the disciplined maturity of one of the industry’s leading providers, Dark Matter Technologies delivers powerful technology with unparalleled automation and relentless innovation to leading mortgage lenders, servicers and companies nationwide.

Dark Matter Technologies announces comprehensive eClosing integration for its NOVA LOS platform

Powered by Wolters Kluwer, eClose solution streamlines mortgage closings, supports cost savings and facilitates the compliant transfer and sale of digital loans

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 3, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, announced today that the NOVA loan origination system (LOS) platform now features a comprehensive integration to the eClosing capabilities powered by the Wolters Kluwer eOriginal® ClosingCenter. Designed to improve the mortgage closing process, eClose will help lenders reduce time-to-close, realize cost savings and provide a better borrower experience while also enabling secondary market activities.

Image caption: Dark Matter Technologies.

The eClose functionality enables users to seamlessly execute the full spectrum of eClosing options: hybrid eClosings, In-Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN) closings and digital “Remote Online Notarization” (RON) closings. This allows lenders to evolve their eClosing strategy over time and provide borrowers with flexible closing options.

The eOriginal® ClosingCenter solution allows NOVA clients to securely eSign and create eNotes, then deposit loan documents into the eOriginal eAsset® Management system for secondary market activities. This allows for compliant transfer and sale of digital lending assets. eSigned documents in the eVault are legally compliant and maintain the highest level of legal enforceability throughout a digital loan’s lifecycle. This solution simplifies digital lending, reducing paperwork, ensuring compliance and speeding up loan cycles.

“With this capability, lenders can deliver an entirely new level of convenience and efficiency,” said Sean Dugan, the chief executive officer of Dark Matter Technologies. “This saves time and money for lenders while allowing them to engage in secondary market activities and gives homebuyers the convenience of faster closings at the time and place of their choosing.”

Dark Matter Technologies added the NOVA LOS to its product line-up in 2024 as part of a dual-product strategy alongside the Empower® LOS to provide innovative solutions and consultative services for credit unions, IMBs and small to midsize banks. The NOVA LOS provides a reliable, cost-effective solution with minimal administrative and supports retail, wholesale and correspondent lending as well as a wide range of mortgage products.

“By integrating flexible, modern eClosing options to NOVA LOS, Dark Matter is putting lenders on a fast track to a fully digital future,” said Shreya Shankar, the vice president of partnerships at Wolters Kluwer Financial & Corporate Compliance. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Dark Matter to help NOVA LOS users enhance borrower satisfaction, increase revenue, streamline operational efficiency and unlock the potential of the secondary market through seamless eClosings.”

Vasto brings more than three decades’ experience in mortgage technology sales and mortgage lending to the Dark Matter executive team. Notably, he served as senior vice president and managing director at Black Knight, where he led the sales and business development of the firm’s servicing technologies and was instrumental in growing the MSP servicing system’s dominant footprint. Following Black Knight’s acquisition, Vasto was involved in the organization’s transition as managing director at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) before joining compliance automation provider Assurity as senior vice president of sales.

“Brad is a proven leader with deep industry expertise and a strong track record of delivering results,” said Dugan. “His leadership philosophy, which emphasizes relationship building, a consultative approach and teamwork, aligns with Dark Matter’s culture of collaboration. I’m confident his ability to understand the unique needs of our clients and deliver tailored solutions will be instrumental in advancing our mission and expanding our market presence.”

As CRO, Vasto will drive revenue growth, strengthen relationships with banks, credit unions and independent mortgage bankers, and lead initiatives to deliver tailored, consultative solutions that meet the evolving needs of lenders. In addition to his extensive technology experience, Vasto’s early career included roles at independent mortgage banks and depository lenders, giving him firsthand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities lenders face.

“I am honored to step into this role and join the exceptional team at Dark Matter Technologies,” said Vasto. “Having worked alongside Sean, Rich, and the team during my time at Black Knight, I know the caliber of this organization and the impact of its solutions. Dark Matter is uniquely positioned to address the evolving needs of today’s lenders and servicers with urgency, and I’m excited to help lead the company into its next phase of growth.”

Shore United Bank inks contract with Dark Matter Technologies for its mortgage business with the Empower LOS and AIVA AI virtual assistants

Shore United pursues implementation to benefit from the enhanced productivity and borrower experience offered by Dark Matter's solutions

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 25, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology backed by time-tested loan origination software and leadership, announced today that Shore United Bank (Shore United), a community bank founded in 1876, has selected the Empower® LOS and select AIVA® AI virtual assistants from Dark Matter to streamline its mortgage lending operations and offer additional support for integrations.

Shore United is a full-service community bank serving customers in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. The bank began searching for an LOS in 2024 that would offer its team more powerful automation, built-in business intelligence tools and support a broader array of integrations. After careful evaluation, Shore United chose the Empower LOS for its bundled, all-in-one mortgage origination functionality, coupled with AIVA AI virtual assistant solutions from Dark Matter.

The Empower LOS takes a task-based approach rather than a linear approach to automating loan production, allowing multiple processes to run concurrently with minimal lender intervention. By tapping employees only as needed to manage exceptions, the Empower LOS streamlines origination workflows, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

Under the agreement with Dark Matter, Shore United will use the Empower LOS and the AIVA AI virtual assistant solutions to leapfrog their business beyond their legacy technology and gain a competitive edge with customers.

“Shore United has transitioned to a more powerful platform that will propel them into the future, increasing their return on investment through improved productivity and offering price stability as the market picks up speed,” said Dark Matter SVP of Northeast Sales, Pete Micera. “We look forward to supporting Shore United’s expedited implementation timeline so they can begin enjoying the value of our solutions quickly.”

“Investing in Dark Matter Technologies is an investment in our customers’ homeownership journeys,” said Corey Galinsky, executive vice president at Shore United. “By adopting the Empower LOS and AIVA AI virtual assistants, we’re embracing cutting-edge technology that will streamline our operations and elevate the experience we deliver to our borrowers. This partnership reinforces our commitment to making the mortgage process smoother and more efficient, helping our customers achieve their homeownership dreams with greater ease and confidence.”

Dark Matter Technologies announces planned CEO transition effective April 2025

Chief Revenue Officer Sean Dugan to assume CEO role, current CEO Rich Gagliano to serve as executive chairman

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced that Sean Dugan, the company’s chief revenue officer, will succeed Rich Gagliano as CEO effective April 2025. Gagliano, who launched Dark Matter in 2023 following over a decade of leadership at its predecessor, Black Knight Origination Technologies, will step into the role of executive chairman.

For nearly 14 years, Gagliano has led the charge to transform mortgage origination with advanced automation and AI/ML solutions. More recently, Gagliano has helped Dark Matter find its footing as an independent company combining the agility of a startup with the pedigree of a mature and experienced provider. Gagliano’s vision for Dark Matter and the team he has assembled to execute on that vision have earned the confidence of banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders nationwide.

“I am incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Dark Matter, and I am confident the company’s best days are ahead,” said Gagliano. “After years of working with Sean, I have absolute confidence in his leadership and in his team’s readiness to execute on the strategy we’ve developed together. I look forward to supporting Sean and our clients as I transition to executive chairman, knowing that Dark Matter is in the most capable of hands.”

Gagliano’s decision to step down as CEO is part of a broader plan to spend more time with family, though he will remain actively involved as executive chairman to support Dugan, the team and clients during the transition.

Dugan brings over 25 years of mortgage industry expertise, including 14 years alongside Gagliano at Dark Matter and its predecessor. Known for his client-focused approach, Dugan has played a pivotal role in shaping Dark Matter’s customer-centric culture and product offerings. As CEO, he will lead the company into its next chapter, focusing on delivering solutions that enhance operational efficiency for lenders.

“Our clients are at the heart of everything we do,” said Dugan. “This transition represents an opportunity to double down on our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable our clients to succeed in a challenging market. I’m honored by the trust Rich and Constellation Software’s leadership has placed in me, and I look forward to leading Dark Matter’s talented team in fulfilling our vision for the future of mortgage technology.”

This planned transition reinforces Dark Matter’s commitment to client success by ensuring continuity, stability and uninterrupted progress toward the company’s strategic roadmap and long-term goals.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 23, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter®), an innovative leader in mortgage technology, today announced the addition of the NOVA loan origination system (LOS) to its product lineup.

Adopting a dual-product strategy underscores Dark Matter’s commitment to providing innovative solutions and consultative services for lenders of all sizes. The Empower LOS is designed for lenders looking to scale by offering extensive exception-based workflows, comprehensive automation and the flexibility to adapt to complex operational models. The NOVA LOS provides a reliable, cost-effective solution with minimal administrative overhead that is ideal for smaller lenders.

The NOVA LOS was acquired by the Perseus Operating Group (Perseus) of Constellation Software Inc in 2019. Dark Matter was formed under Perseus in 2023 following the company’s acquisition of the Empower LOS and AIVA® AI Virtual Assistant solutions. Aligning the NOVA LOS under the Dark Matter brand brings the extensive expertise and innovative power of these solutions under joint leadership while better supporting the growth of each LOS platform.

“With the alignment of the Empower LOS and the NOVA LOS under the Dark Matter brand, we’re creating a powerhouse in loan origination technology,” said Sean Dugan, chief revenue officer at Dark Matter. “Andromeda, a division of the Perseus Operating Group of CSI, has strategically acquired two platforms that each serve distinct segments of the market, and by organizing both platforms under Dark Matter leadership, we can leverage over three decades of experience to partner with lenders choosing the product best suited to navigating their unique needs and challenges.”

“The addition of the NOVA LOS further cements our commitment to delivering flexible and innovative solutions,” said Frank Poiesz, president of Constellation Mortgage Solutions. “By aligning with the Empower LOS, we are providing an ecosystem of solutions that support lenders at any stage of growth, backed by the extensive resources of Dark Matter.”

With their deep reservoir of industry knowledge, Dark Matter’s consultative partners are equipped to help lenders advance their business goals by making informed technology selections. Through seamless implementations, dedicated account management and initiatives like its Client Advisory Board and Horizon user conference, Dark Matter is an innovative, nimble partner throughout the entire lending process—from onboarding to scaling and adapting to market changes.
