Associated Bank Obtains Greater Efficiency with the Accenture Mortgage Cadence Enterprise Lending Center

Client ProfileWith a legacy of service to their customers and communities spanning over 150 years, Associated Banc-Corp (Associated Bank) strives to be the most admired financial services company in the Midwest. They are built upon a strong commitment to their borrowers and distinguish themselves by offering sound financial solutions with personal service.

Business ChallengeAssociated Bank’s disparate processes, combined with an over-reliance on paper, slowed loan closings and sapped efficiency. They sought an all-in-one lending solution that offered greater reliability and streamlined workflows.

How Accenture HelpedAssociated Bank, an Accenture Mortgage Cadence customer for nearly a decade, originally chose to host the Enterprise Lending Center in-house, using their own IT resources. In 2014, they opted to move to the Accenture Mortgage Cadence Cloud, minimizing their risk and alleviating the need for in-house IT support. Associated Bank now benefits from increased system reliability, redundancy and ease of upgrades – all crucial elements in today’s regulatory environment.

To round out their loan origination process, Associated Bank also added Accenture Mortgage Cadence’s consumer portal solution, the Borrower Center, as well as the Document and Imaging Centers – all helping to deliver a superior borrower experience with point-of-sale functionality and fully electronic document generation and management.

High Performance DeliveredAccenture Mortgage Cadence helps Associated Bank move towards entirely paperless lending with the Enterprise Lending Center and supporting product suite, while also improving operational efficiencies and helping to ensure regulatory compliance. Furthermore, Accenture Mortgage Cadence provides Associated Bank with the last lending platform they will ever need by offering a reliable system that will grow with their expanding business needs.
