Case Study: Morningstar's Central Technology team saves 1,972 work days a year with Asana
Key results
The challenge
Morningstar, with 11,000+ employees across 29 countries, ran reactive and manual roadmapping and research workflows. Coordinating research content and technology requests across cross-functional teams required significant back-and-forth.
The solution
Teams standardized intake and content pipelines in Asana and added Asana AI to the research content workflow used by roughly 300 stakeholders. The Retirement team rebuilt its request review process to reduce manual coordination.
“Asana helps us drive efficiencies that scale and foster the growth that's needed. We've broken down barriers for collaboration.”
