Odessa, a dedicated asset finance software provider, launched Configurable Attributes, a new capability that allows asset finance organizations to adapt the Odessa platform by themselves, without custom code or vendor involvement.
Any field a client creates is instantly available across the platform — in the API, in reports, data extracts and business rules that drive pricing and workflows — through a governed, self-service workflow that keeps changes consistent and auditable.
“One of the greatest challenges in enterprise software has been balancing flexibility with governance,” Joe Juliano, president and CEO of Odessa, said. “Configurable Attributes gives clients the ability to adapt the platform to their evolving business needs while maintaining the control, consistency and oversight required of a mission-critical platform. Instead of shaping their business around what the software allows, they shape the software around how their business runs.”
With Configurable Attributes, authorized administrators can define and manage business-specific data fields for any part of the system without professional services or vendor engagement. Because these changes are structural configurations rather than custom code, they are upgrade-safe through a structured, auditable workflow.
Because every configured field is instantly live across the platform, clients can put new data to work immediately. If a company launches a new asset class, takes on a different kind of vendor or faces a new reporting requirement, they do not need to ask Odessa to make a change; they simply configure it and go live.
“Asset finance moves fast, and our clients shouldn’t have to wait to keep up,” Juliano said. “Configurable Attributes removes the weeks — sometimes months — of waiting. Clients can make the changes they need and promote them to production right away, allowing their business to move at the speed opportunities demand.”
