The world's leading e-commerce company,eBay,relies heavily on advanced technologies to manage millions of transactions in their online market place,but until recently,their SEC reporting team was waiting for those advanced technologies to make their way into the financial reporting process.

When WebFilings came calling and presented an opportunity to participate in and influence the evolution of the financial reporting process via a cutting-edge cloud based collaboration platform,eBay was impressed and became one of the first companies to adopt WebFilings.

eBay expressed their desire for a solution that could make the process more efficient,and faster.Leveraging WebFilings,the team has been able to exceed management's goals and file their 10-Q on the same day as the earnings release.Additionally,they were able to shave 20days off their previous fastest 10-K filing."WebFilings makes us more efficient and helps us save a significant amount of time,"Sean Cook,Director of Corporate Accounting and Reporting at eBay,boasts.

Tyler Olsen,SEC Reporting and Accounting Policy Senior Analyst said,"When I first saw WebFilings,I was blown away.I immediately noticed significant efficiencies in how we could improve our process using WebFilings."

And,in addition to a streamlined process and time savings,eBay has also realized a bottom-line difference...saving approximately $50k annually on third-party SEC reporting costs,via WebFilings'integrated XBRL tagging and EDGARization features and the ability to file directly with the SEC.

"I recommend WebFilings because it's just out-of-date to do SEC reporting using a traditional word processor and spreadsheet software,"Cook summarizes,"I always recommend WebFilings.With all the functionality it offers and the savings you get right away,why wouldn't you use it?"
