Beyond Paper, PDFsand Wireless

It’s the Right Time for Technologyin the BoardroomExplosive growth in iPad use has accelerated the adoption of technology in the boardroom. Today 60% of US public companies use tablets and web portals to deliver board-related information to their directors, with usage also jumping at private firms, not-for-profits and government agencies.

There’s more than technology fueling this trend.Company executives today must convey growing volumes of information to the board – in addition to dealing with greater regulatory oversight and personal liability in the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley.

Companies are also realizing significant benefits from making the move to a board portal:

Improved board effectiveness for directors and executives

• Increased ease of director and executive communications • More strategic discussions at meetings with quicker handling of routine items • Ready access to current and historic company information

More efficient board meeting preparation and management by administrators

• Streamlined and faster materials production • Eliminated printing, shipping and travel costs • Freed up internal admin, IT and support time

We understand that every company is different and adjust to the nuances of your culture, organization and business. Our experienced teams have advised all types of entities including commercial, health care, higher education and not-for-profits on making this transition. Let us take you on the journey to more effectively producing, delivering and reviewing your board materials.

Experience the Difference

Diligent Boardbooks has helped thousands of clients achieve board acceptance and smoothly transition to a new board portal. Here’s why clients make the move:

Built on the only page-level proprietary software in the business, Diligent Boardbooks offers the fastest screen views, quickest updates, easiest navigation and most intuitive user interface. Our relentless focus has been on simplicity in design. The result: a board portal that directors call fun and easy to use!

Performance

Directors need a board portal that stays with them as they move from online to offline modes and between the iPad, PC and browser. With a copy of the Diligent board portal app resident on each user’s iPad, directors can view the app locally instead of relying on Wi-Fi or network connections.

Mobility

Ever vigilant when it comes to security, Diligent combines a keen understanding of how the board process works with deep expertise in the constantly evolving technologies that underlie the board portal. It converts and encrypts at the page level, whereas other portals often protect only at the file or even filing cabinet level.

Security

Service High-quality 24/7/365 service is crucial when a company’s most important executives need access to board-related information under any circumstances. Support can help smooth the transition from the paper to digital world – and from internal or other portal solutions.

With Diligent Boardbooks, companies can rest assured that confidential board material remains in the right hands. Designated individuals and groups can be given rights to view certain types of data. Rules can be put in place to control how board materials can be accessed and shared, and document retention policies can be enforced electronically.
