The options

Workiva quotes privately for your organisation and includes unlimited users. Owners may look for an alternative when the package covers more than their disclosure desk and they want records in a database they own.

How to choose a Workiva alternative
- 1
What your bill covers
Workiva does not publish a numerical list price. Some solutions use package tiers, while others are tailored to your organisation. Workiva includes unlimited users, so compare the reporting work you need with the package in your renewal. For an owned version, agree the scope and operating support you need.
- 2
Who owns your records
The owned option puts your records in a database your business owns. Before moving, agree which records will be brought across, how history will be preserved, and who will operate the system. That makes ownership and day-to-day responsibility clear before you switch.
- 3
Fit with your process
Your disclosure process may use its own periods, section owners, due dates, evidence references and review decisions. A custom version can be built around how your business works. Agree the fields and review rules first, rather than changing your process to fit a generic setup.

What the switch involves
Workiva supports spreadsheet exports, but different items may need different handling. The free version can import a mapped figure sheet after a test run. Documents, attachments, comments and earlier certifications need separate reconciliation. Enterprise DNA handles the mapping and agrees how history is preserved, so confirm the migration scope before switching.
The option that fits
A reporting desk built around your business
Disclosure Desk is an owned reporting desk for disclosure evidence and sign-offs, not a replacement for every part of Workiva. Enterprise DNA builds a version around your reporting process, with your records in a database you own and plain-language operation. It can bring agreed Workiva data across and run the custom version for you for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to manage it yourself, the free version is available.

Questions
Workiva alternatives, answered
How is the Workiva quote set? expand_more
Workiva does not publish a numerical list price. It quotes privately for your organisation and includes unlimited users. Some solutions use package tiers, while others are tailored. Compare the work your team needs with the package in your renewal.
What would it take to move our records? expand_more
Workiva supports spreadsheet exports. The free version imports a mapped figure sheet after a test run, skips identical records and requires an explicit decision before changing an existing figure. Documents, attachments, comments and earlier certifications need separate reconciliation. Enterprise DNA handles the mapping and agrees how history is preserved.
Would an alternative cover all of Workiva? expand_more
The scope is the operator disclosure desk, covering reporting periods, figures, source references, reconciliations, follow-ups and review decisions. It is not a replacement for the entire Workiva platform or statutory filing. Agree the document workflow, staff screens and connections your business needs before switching.
How is an owned version paid for? expand_more
Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for the agreed custom build and operation. The free version is available to run yourself. Workiva provides a private quote and includes unlimited users, so compare the reporting work in your renewal with what your business needs.
