Case Study: Willis Towers Watson achieves faster, more collaborative SEC filings with Donnelley Financial Solutions' new ActiveDisclosure

How our affordable solution helped one of the world’s largest HR consulting firms save time, drive efficiencies, and increase collaboration

Willis Towers Watson, a global HR consulting and insurance broking firm with $8+ billion in annual revenue and more than 44,000 employees across 140 countries, struggled with slow, cumbersome collaboration on SEC regulatory filings like annual 10‑Ks. To speed drafting and enable multiple teammates to review and edit filings simultaneously, Willis Towers Watson engaged Donnelley Financial Solutions and its New ActiveDisclosure filing solution.

Donnelley Financial Solutions implemented New ActiveDisclosure, delivering intuitive drafting tools, Excel and data-source integration, Intelligent iXBRL tagging, and 24/7 expert support. The platform was up and running in just a few days; within that time a larger filing team was already drafting Willis Towers Watson’s 10‑K with greater speed and precision, boosting cross‑locale collaboration, saving time, reducing errors, and lowering overall filing costs.
