Workiva finds traction in consumer goods and retail, financial, energy and utilities, services, transportation, entertainment, life sciences and manufacturing industries. The company serves more than 60 percent of the Fortune 500 companies. For instance, a leading financial company’s employees often had to work long hours, during the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing period, to complete and file the reports on time.The client was using a combination of table-filled text documents and spreadsheets to create SEC reports that could run 100 pages or more. Wdesk dramatically brought down this providing an instant improvement in filing reports.
Moving forward, Workiva aims to expand its range of product offering. The basketball fanatic believes in being a team player and is certain that this principle would take his team a long way.
