Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW), a multi-national commercial real-estate company, was looking for a software that would allow their team to efficiently collaborate on their reporting, remove manual work, and save time. See how DFIN helped them save 25 hours a week on manual filing with ActiveDisclosure.

For those who try to predict the future, the last two years have been a challenge. This is especially true when attempting to forecast IPO activity and emerging federal and state regulations, including pending U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from our corporate reporting & ESG data management experts about:

• Building an ESG reporting program with a good data management & tech strategy

Navigating SEC reporting is a large task and a time-consuming endeavor, particularly for large, global public companies like WTW. Yet, Steve Horowitz, WTW's SEC Reporting Manager, discovered that ActiveDisclosure's compatibility with familiar tools like Excel served as both a time-saving asset and a source of comfort, minimizing the need for workarounds and amplifying overall efficiency.

DFIN’s ongoing strategic transformation into a software solutions company remained on track in the third quarter, with record software solutions net sales of $73.2 million, a year-over-year increase of 5.3%, or 6.8% on an organic basis. This accounted for 40.7% of total net sales, up from 36.8% in the third quarter of 2022.
