About

The Financial Times is one of the world’s leading news organizations, known for its in-depth reporting covering economic news, financial trends, and global events.

Challenge

FT Live, the global events division at the Financial Times, needed a system that could handle the complexity of speaker applications and attendee RSVPs to streamline the event planning process. Before adopting Jotform Enterprise, it was a manual process, with the team often working until 2 a.m. to keep up.

Solution

Jotform Enterprise provided an automated solution that integrated directly into FT Live’s existing digital ecosystem, saving the team hours of work. With Jotform Enterprise, the FT Live team designed automated workflows for the application process and reduced the review time by 80 percent.

Results

Automating workflows for applications dramatically changed how the team worked. The application process became a part of the standard workday, not a late-night burden, allowing the team to focus on strategic priorities and upcoming deadlines.
