4 S Technologies, LLC History

4 S Technologies, LLC (4 S) was founded in 2007 by Michael Ackerman and Bill Taylor with the specific purpose of advancing the distribution of valuable technology solutions to the financial services industry and to others. 4 S began operation with customers outside its affiliate network in 2007.

Even before the financial and real estate markets were affected by significant changes which began in 2007 with the sub-prime meltdown and continued through robo-signing and the rise of monumental regulatory oversight and new standards, 4 S had positioned itself to assist its customers in the difficult task of achieving transparency and filling automation gaps to ensure quality and consistency.

Where data to fund automated processes was not readily available or where automated interfaces were not readily available, 4 S’s software components and componentized solutions interfaced with legacy systems and external data sources to provide automated, controlled workflow-driven results. Principal focuses were

• acquisition of available but non‐automated data (from websites), which was crucial to the throughput of automated desktop processes and portfolio management analyses;
• delivery of data to electronic or other recipients which did not offer electronic interfaces;
• combination, management, comparison and analysis of data from multiple sources to deliver 360-degree views; and
• enablement of easy entry, consumption, integration and adaptation.

4 S’s focus has been successful in enabling its clients to meet the rapidly changing requirements which often cripple organizations with required processes and operations whose margins are diminishing as rapidly as their work requirements are increasing.
