On their selection of Applied Epic, Joe Sirianni, executive vice president of Network for Western Financial, said, “Changing management systems is a large undertaking for any business, so Western Financial spent significant time researching various vendors and conducting formal functional reviews to find a system best suited for our digital transformation.
