Sharper focus, stronger impact
Farm Credit Illinois recognized they needed to improve its operations before adopting new loan technology. Delays in underwriting and loan processing were slowing service and affecting members. They partnered with West Monroe to simplify workflows and prepare for the technology upgrade. By analyzing their processes and restructuring teams, we reduced inefficiencies, clarified roles, and created a centralized loan operations function. The impact was immediate: 60% fewer redundant tasks, 50% less role confusion, and loan processing sped up by 36%. These improvements benefited both members and employees—paving the way for long-term success with the new system.
