NEW YORK; February 26, 2014 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) announced that Summit Credit Union, based in Madison, Wisconsin, has chosen software from Accenture Mortgage Cadence to streamline its lending operations and enhance the home financing experience for its members. Summit Credit Union will be using Accenture Mortgage Cadence’s Borrower, Loan Fulfillment and Imaging Centers, formerly known as the Symphony platform.

The cloud-based platform covers the full lending cycle, from point-of-sale through delivery, including imaging, documents and secondary market tools that help make pipeline management and loan sales more efficient. With easier access to data, users can process, underwrite, close and fund loans from virtually any location, at any time, resulting in faster responses to customer inquiries. Accenture Mortgage Cadence has extensively studied methods for increased efficiencies, productivity and profitability in the lending process and incorporated these findings into its solutions.

“As one of Wisconsin’s largest home lenders, Summit Credit Union is known for our service and for our competitive, member-friendly mortgage programs,” said Daniel Milbrandt, Chief Lending Officer, Summit Credit Union. “After exploring numerous technology options, we found that the Accenture Mortgage Cadence offering was, by far, the most comprehensive platform available, including the Borrower Center which enables our borrowers to self-originate and the Loan Fulfillment Center which helps our staff efficiently process mortgages electronically. Additionally, the Imaging Center will help eliminate paper as well as simplify document exchange with our members and investors.”

“Many factors challenge the efficiency of the lending process, such as fluctuating volumes, the regulatory climate and ongoing changes with Government Sponsored Enterprises,” said Christine Haroldson, Vice President of Mortgage Lending, Summit Credit Union. “We’ve chosen Accenture Mortgage Cadence software to increase our end-to-end productivity and simplify the borrowing process for our customers. We thoroughly researched our options, including talking with several Borrower Center and Loan Fulfillment Center customers, and saw that the benefits are real for lenders and borrowers. The Accenture Mortgage Cadence benchmarking study also provides powerful insight as the report we saw that tracks performance over so long a time period.”
