“It took them a few months to watch everyone else using the iPad-based solution before they were ready to adopt Diligent Boards themselves. They never asked for paper again."
“Implementation was easy and seamless. Adoption and use of the portal was surprisingly quick. We set a 90-day deadline to be up and running, but within about 30 days all our users and board members were using the Diligent software.”
"Facing a huge and slightly daunting opportunity to build a world-leading E&C function, we chose Diligent to fulfill Neptune’s ethics and compliance requirements and to provide us with the framework to expand our processes as the organization scales and changes.”
"I can create templates for all the different kinds of meetings. To me, templates and the ability to prepopulate information in the minutes before the meeting saves time and enhances the smooth running of meetings. It takes me less time to complete my minutes and I feel it makes my job easier.”
"Hearing administrators express their happiness with Diligent Community made me confident we chose the right platform.”
"We were getting documents sent right and left, and would need to put all the materials together in board or committee packs in time for our meetings, which was, needless to say, very time-consuming, especially if there were lastminute changes."
"What was a challenge was understanding what a policy looked like beforehand, what edits were made and what the final policy would look like.”
"The features that we have seen to be crucial in keeping board members and community stakeholders actively involved include the ability to easily access information and keep up to date on meeting schedules and topics.”
"I started looking for an all-encompassing solution, with coverage across audit planning, report generation and action tracking. Basically, I was looking for a solution that allowed us to do more with less.”
"Over the last eight years that I’ve worked at Daikin, the size of the audit team has remained fairly stable – but the company has grown and we’ve got more subsidiaries to service. By using [Diligent] to optimise the efficiency of our audit process, we’ve been able to maintain the same number of resources in our team.”
"Not having to manage an email list anymore is huge. If we have a new member join one of our committees, it’s already done.”
"The task was time-consuming and required a lot of patience, especially since we work with many departments who need to get items on the agenda for board approval."
"Third-Party Manager’s Media Monitoring feature was a big plus. It runs [third-party searches] through everything that’s in the media database on a regular basis. That wasn’t possible before we started using this program. Thanks to Diligent’s Third-Party Manager it’s now done automatically."
"Traditional training methods, such as long-form content and annual modules, were not meeting the needs of the diverse workforce."
"That is the big bang for the buck that I have gotten from Diligent – being able to develop that program. It did not take me very long at all; I just went to the library, found the topics, put them into a calendar and got them going. And I have done that two years in a row now.”
