2. It’s the Right Time for Technology
in the Boardroom
Explosive 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
With a 97% client retention rate over the past eight years, Diligent knows what
drives successful board portal adoption. 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.

4. 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.

remarkable. We can now post information in real time which means all documents
