Wescom Resources Group Successfully Completes Merger Consulting Engagement for Crane FCU
1/30/2009
Wescom Resources Group (WRG), a provider of technology solutions for credit unions, announced that it recently completed a merger consulting engagement for Crane Federal Credit Union ($235 million, 22,279 members) of Odon, IN. Crane’s merger with another credit union was completed successfully on December 15th. WRG provided a complete package that included IT project management, data mapping, batch-processing and job file reviews.
Dale Quakenbush, VP of Information Technology at Crane FCU, worked closely with the WRG project team. He states, “The time constraints we were up against were almost impossible and WRG graciously accepted the deadline and set forth a plan to make sure the date was met.”
Quakenbush attributes much of the success to the WRG project manager -- “a top notch merger manager”, as he puts it -- and WRG’s programmer. “The speed and accuracy of his logic is just amazing to me!” Regarding his choice of WRG, Dale adds: “I would highly recommend the WRG team to anyone for their merger capabilities. I can’t say thanks to those two and WRG enough. They made my choice to use WRG a complete success.”
