Equity Compensation Management

By using the Certent solution to automate the equity grant process, the compensation manager at a multi-billion dollar retail giant gained back over 350 hours per year.

The manager of stock plans and shareholder services at a publicly-traded energy company reduced the time it takes to generate quarterly reports from several days to just a half a day and year-end reports from one week down to one day by automating administrative activities with Certent.

Stock plan administrators indicate that Certent helps them generate administrative reports 75 – 85% faster and cuts the time it takes to collect grant acceptances by 80-90%.
