Corporate Reporting
As MDD celebrates its 25th anniversary, we take a moment to spotlight the people who have shaped our journey — clients, partners, and professionals who actively design and manage reporting processes every day. With the MDD Voices series, we share their perspectives: authentic, practical, and grounded in real‑world experience.
Each story highlights what drives successful reporting outcomes: clear structures, reliable systems, and trusted collaboration.
In this Client Story, Davide Spanio, Head of Financial Publications at the Swiss Federal Finance Administration (FFA), shares insights into the digital transformation of federal financial reporting and the collaboration with MDD.
Federal financial reporting comes with high expectations around accuracy, transparency, and efficiency. Davide Spanio is responsible for key publications such as the budget and the federal financial statements.
The collaboration with MDD began through a public procurement process, where MDD stood out with a convincing system well suited to FFA’s complex requirements.
The first joint project focused on introducing a new editorial system. From the outset, the FFA brought specific functional requirements — which MDD implemented pragmatically and efficiently.
The results are substantial: today, approximately 95% of FFA’s reporting work is handled via the MDD platform — largely automated. Processes that once relied on emails, spreadsheets, and manual coordination are now digital, structured, and fast.
For Davide Spanio, the system itself is the highlight of the collaboration. Workflows have been simplified, processes automated, and reporting teams empowered to work more efficiently and with greater confidence.
These improvements go beyond productivity — they increase satisfaction and create stability in a demanding reporting environment.
Even complex projects have lighter moments. Davide Spanio recalls contract discussions involving legal teams — and plenty of highlighted text — with a smile.
These experiences reflect a collaboration that remains constructive and solution‑focused, even in formal settings.
Davide Spanio sees MDD’s development over recent years as consistently positive. Continuous enhancements to the platform directly benefit customers like the FFA.
He sums up the MDD team in one sentence:
The MDD Voices stories show that reporting is about more than figures and documents. It’s about people, responsibility, structure, and collaboration — especially in the public sector.
We’re proud to share this Client Story with the FFA and to highlight how digital reporting can be strengthened through automation, clarity, and long‑term partnership.
