Workiva is a cloud platform supporting ESG protecting, designed to provide collaboration, data integration, and an audit trail. The platform helps mitigate risk, and improves productivity.
Gensuite is well suited for concern reporting, it also empowers organisations with enterprise asset management. Gensuite core competency is of safety management system and they have meticulously developed software understanding the needs and expectations of the industries. In an nutshell it can used as Safety Compliance Software along with capabilities of computerised asset management like that of CMMS application. Existing ERP users can integrate safety module alone which is very much powerful given the features available.
Wdesk is best suited for companies with demanding SEC filings and documents, with multiple revisions due to auditor/counsel review, and where financial reporting is extremely manual. Wdesk really helps take out the potential errors out of extremely manual processes, and helps automate regular financial reporting by allowing companies to link financial information and build customized flows of their information into financial statements and other documents (such as presentations or other internal reporting).
The biggest strength of the program for our team is that multiple users can work in the document at the same time. Multiple users can be in the program updating financial statements, footnotes, MD&A - all without stepping on each other's toes.
Rolling forward the documents from one period to the next is pretty simple. Links to source documents are maintained and new ones can be added without much hassle.
Edits and changes can be made right up until the last minute before filing. There is no waiting period or pencils-down period unless we enforce one ourselves - the Financial Reporting team is in control of the timing of our filings.
Gensuite Mobile UI of simple and its easy to login and in web applications company SSO logins are available which makes life easier. In mealtime you can take images of unsafe acts, unsafe incidents, near misses and other concern reports and directly be logged on to with an click. This feature empowers every employee to participate in the safety program.
Overall it's a good-to-go product because of its features. It's easy to set up, meets requirements, has quality support, etc. So far, it has been working quite well for me, and I wish to continue using it for as long as it meets my requirements.
There were no good reason to reach their support because demo programs and available tutorials online makes ease of usage of app more explanatory beyond this since its a workflow based application it empowers implementations to design their forms accordingly to own custom needs which makes it easier for trainers to train people for the system
Workiva's technical support is impeccable and undoubtedly one of the best. The times we needed them, they were super quick and willing to help. It works 24 hours a day, and there will always be someone to help with doubts or technical problems regarding the tool.
Used Spotlight in comparison to Gensuite. Spotlight helps you set up things for free Whereas it's not the case with Gensuite. Spotlight is more useful for startup organisations whereas Gensuite is used for organisations across different business domains creating a benchmark across the functions of the company helping the apex management to concentrate on the areas of improvement defining Policies in line with the data acquired.
We moved from a third party filer to doing it in house. Have seen demos of products like Active Disclosure, which has come a long way from the beta version I saw and but we are not too far gone with Wdesk for us to evaluate other products. When we first signed up with Webfilings, (former name of Workiva), there were no viable products in the market. I had seen an Oracle product and a beta version of Active Disclosure. It was not hard to see the ease and intuitive-screens, to guide one through the filing process. The excel-like spreadsheets were an added bonus.
We spend less than we used to with a traditional printer.
We have been able to do turn-on-a-dime equity offerings with last minute changes and still file on time.
Inviting external legal into the platform has helped with communication but we actually suspect they spend MORE time (and billing) on our documents than they used to just simply because it's so easy to get at them anytime they want.
