"I don't think you can do it without using a product like the Workiva platform. We went public with an Up-C corporate structure, and I don’t know how you would do it in a traditional model and meet your deadline."
"Before Workiva, we were coming in on nights and weekends to implement last-minute changes. With Workiva, we rarely need to."
"With Workiva, we have much more transparency and trust with our data. The consistency and integrity of the data is guaranteed throughout the reports, and this is a big benefit for us. It’s amazing to work with Workiva. It’s just a tremendous platform."
"I definitely see Workiva as a giant leap forward from where we were before."
"I feel better about the numbers. There's a lot of risk with reporting, and you want to make sure you do things right. Workiva reduces that risk."
"We increased external audit's reliance by nearly 70%. It was significant, and that was 100% because of the ease of access with Workiva. This has created considerable savings in our external audit fees."
"Workiva allows us to have a great deal of flexibility in how we change processes outside of our primary use case."
"Prior to Workiva, publishing the budget was a major component of our budget process. Workiva allows us to focus on content instead of formatting."
"There are significant benefits to using the internal audit management solution from Workiva versus doing it through traditional workbooks and documents: workflows, PBC requests, being able to see where you stand. That’s huge in terms of being able to do more with the same amount of resources that you have right now."
"The back-and-forth was absolutely painful. Even if you just had a minor punctuation change, it was a game of telephone to get that done, as opposed to being able to just do it yourself live in the document."
"Workiva solutions add a lot of value in terms of data handoffs, being efficient with our time, and then having confidence in the living version of our document."
“The linking functionality within Wdesk is definitely superior.”
"You don't understand what Wdesk can do for your organization until you get your hands into it."
“We’ve saved about four to six hours on just the presentation publishing process. On the back end, we’ve saved a good amount of time just by having consistent information and from simplifying the review process."
"You're dealing so much with style, formatting, and consistency that you're not spending time on the analytics and the analytics are really what these lenders care about. They care about whether or not their product is going to be able to make debt service. They care about whether there's some sort of defect in the equipment that's costing the project a lot of repair costs."
