Customer of the Year Award Winners Praise Workiva’s Innovation and Support
Customers such as Sun Life, The Home Depot, Reddit, Energy Recovery, Discover, and Clorox, have attributed Workiva's unified platform to enhanced team connectivity, integrated solutions and data, and achieving the accuracy, efficiency, and agility essential for success.
Erik Tremblay, Director, Corporate Finance Transformation and Initiatives of Sun Life shares, "We’re excited to be recognized for Digital Transformation of the Year by Workiva. The Workiva platform has supported enhancing our reporting processes, which has boosted productivity and efficiencies for our Finance Reporting Teams, giving us a strong, reliable single source of truth for our data.”
“Managing change impacting SOX governance and internal controls is one of our biggest challenges in an ever-changing world where quick adaptation to emerging compliance topics is essential,” said Andrew Gerndt, Internal Controls Director of The Home Depot. “Workiva helps us overcome these challenges by centralizing SOX-related documentation and workflows, making it easily accessible for collaboration across our associates, stakeholders and auditors.”
The Workiva platform also helps customers retain control throughout the initial public offering (IPO) process with connected reporting. Michelle Reynolds, Chief Accounting Officer, Vice President of Reddit explains, "Working in a fast-paced environment with team members across different time zones requires us to be agile and organized. Quality and consistency of data is critical. Workiva allows our entire team and auditors to be aware of document changes in real time and allows notes and comments to be consolidated in one place to avoid unnecessary administrative time.”
With the recent launch of Workiva Carbon and addition of carbon accounting, carbon management, and decarbonization to the platform, customers such as Energy Recovery’s Annalise Di Santo, Senior Analyst, Sustainability and ESG, have found that “Workiva Carbon has been an extremely valuable addition to the suite of tools, allowing us to have all of our data in one place.”
“Having all of our collaborators in one controlled environment, from data owners, approvers, legal, risk, audit, and designers creates a more efficient process,” expresses Abigail Beach, ESG Director, Discover. “As an ESG practitioner my goal is to provide accurate information to our stakeholders. Workiva helps us ensure that the data we have is accurate, reviewed, approved, and tied out.”
Scott Griffin, Associate Director Finance Transformation and Integration of Clorox said, ”Workiva has been, and will continue to be, our go-to strategic partner in helping us understand and see the possibilities of how we should be thinking about reporting.”
