Case Study: Slack achieves a faster, more collaborative IPO process with Workiva

Slack Technologies Inc. saves hours on IPO filings with Workiva

Slack Technologies Inc., a workplace messaging company, faced a disconnected and archaic process for producing its SEC filings during its IPO, which relied on traditional financial printers. This method caused inefficiencies, version control issues, and a high risk of errors. To modernize this, Slack chose to use the connected reporting and compliance platform from Workiva.

By implementing Workiva's solution, Slack enabled real-time collaboration between its internal teams, outside counsel, and auditors. This resulted in a highly efficient and accurate process with no version control problems, a significantly accelerated review cycle, and hours of saved time. The success of the IPO filing led Slack to adopt Workiva for its ongoing SEC reporting, providing confidence in the accuracy of its filings as a new public company.
