Case Study: Global Medical Devices Company achieves faster SEC reporting and improved team productivity with Workiva

Team Using SEC Reporting Solution Gains Time, Grows Careers

A global medical device company faced slow, error-prone SEC reporting: using desktop office software meant only one person could update a 10-Q at a time, reviewers worked late into the night and the manager worried changes from late journal entries weren’t easily tracked. The team needed a way to enable simultaneous updates, clear version control, and faster, more reliable filings.

By adopting Workiva’s cloud reporting platform the team can collaborate in real time, link and update source data across reports, and use blackline and audit-trail features to track changes. The solution cut the 10-Q process by about a week and the 10-K by three to four weeks, reduced review pain points, and freed staff to spend more time analyzing results and developing into future leaders.
