points in its software or application workflow, helping to improve efficiency and save costs. Take for example a customer that has created an application to identify the best investment property opportunities. The application employs a stair-step workflow to increasingly narrow the pool of potential investment properties, with different data elements needed at each subsequent step in the workflow. With our coming API, ATTOM can quickly create a custom API for each step in the workflow, feeding the application with exactly the data
