About WorkivaAs accountants, engineers, and entrepreneurs, we experienced the struggles of using incorrect and untimely data. When we started, reporting was still manual -- often involving hundreds of collaborators and many versions before the final draft. With old processes and tools, we were not confident in the quality of our data or reports. We knew there was a better way, and that's why we created Wdesk. It's an all-in-one platform that simplifies complex collaboration while keeping data in sync, thus reducing risk. That’s why it's already used by thousands of companies around the globe.We’re a data company, so we looked at it differently... Most data is unstructured -- rapidly changing and coming from many sources. So we built a platform for enterprises to handle data relationships in the same way that Google saw links on the web and LinkedIn saw the power of networked professionals. We built an infrastructure that can handle data relationships that are organic and constantly in flux. Those relationships provide new strategic insights and opportunities. With smarter data as the core of our platform, links became the backbone of Wdesk. Our live-links work like web hyperlinks -- they're defined by the user and automatically update when data changes. We made our platform secure and SSAE 16 Type II compliant. It all runs on top of a high performance, massively scalable infrastructure that ensures we’re both flexible and fast. It is how our data stays accurate and up to date in real time.WorkivaW_79a351fb-1929-11e4-b1a0-59a0b924fef1CollaboratorsAccountantsEngineersEntrepreneursWorkiva Leadership TeamMatt RizaiChairman and Chief Executive Officer -- Former Chairman and CEO, Engineering Animation, Inc.Marty VanderploegPresident, Chief Operating Officer and Director -- Former Founder, COO, Engineering Animation, Inc.Jeff TromExecutive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer -- Former Founder, CTO, Engineering Animation, Inc.Mike SellbergExecutive Vice President and Chief Product Officer -- Former EVP, CTO, iMed Studios; Former Divisional General Manager, Engineering Animation, Inc.Joseph HowellExecutive Vice President, Strategic Initiatives -- Former Managing Director, Financial Intelligence LLC; Former CFO, Borland, Merix, EMusic.comStuart MillerExecutive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer -- Former Founder and Managing Director, Colonnade Advisors; Former Managing Director, JP Morgan & Co.Troy CalkinsExecutive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel -- Former partner at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP.Collaboration is simplified while data is kept in sync._e846c8b8-2100-11e6-b516-72ff861eb3cbTo make complex collaboration easy._e846c9f8-2100-11e6-b516-72ff861eb3cbCollaborationUse Wdesk when you're creating reports or building processes for your business or enterprise that:ContributionsInvolve many contributors across departments or business unitsVersioningGo through multiple versionsControlRequire varying levels of permissions and controlsReuseNeed data accurately reused across different documents or presentationsAccuracyRely on a single source of truth for data accuracyWdeskHelp large, disparate groups collaborate._e846ccb4-2100-11e6-b516-72ff861eb3cbRadically changing the way people work...
