Case Study: Busey Bank drives faster growth and saves hundreds of thousands with Smartsheet

Busey Bank saves over $200,000 and speeds M&A planning 95% with Smartsheet

Busey Bank, a mid-market financial services institution, needed a more efficient and scalable solution to manage its numerous projects and complex processes, particularly for its strategic growth through mergers and acquisitions. Their previous project management system was difficult to adopt, lacked robust reporting, and hindered collaboration. To address these challenges, the bank turned to the Smartsheet platform for project and process management.

By implementing Smartsheet, Busey Bank gained a centralized platform for managing projects, optimizing processes, and handling change requests. The solution provided powerful dashboards, automated workflows, and standardized templates. The results were significant, including a 95% faster setup for M&A project plans, the completion of data conversions in four months instead of nine to twelve, and over $200,000 in savings from process improvements in just half a year. Smartsheet also enabled the bank to manage ten times the number of concurrent projects while ensuring regulatory compliance and fostering widespread collaboration across the organization.
