“By creating a single risk and control matrix of around 100 controls for each legal entity around the world, [with] 30 legal entities, we have established consistency in our controls and compliance reporting.”

“We were really looking for a winning combination of solid security, the best back-end functionality that the secretariat team would use and the front-end that the directors get on the iPad. The only company that met all of Lonmin’s criteria was Diligent Boards.”

“Dignity, like many companies, is facing the challenges of a changing market and the potential for industry regulation. More than ever, we need to ensure that our Directors have easy access to the critical information they need to make informed, robust decisions. If a tool supports better working practices through the swift collation of information, distribution and the ability to more easily seek people’s views and concerns, then it is improving governance.”

“The Diligent Boards solution is just such a clear leader in the area.”

“The ability to be more visible in the process has made everyone much more conscious of being on time, and that supports better decisionmaking, since Directors have the material in advance and are up to speed with critical issues.”

“Customer support at Diligent is impeccable. Whenever there’s a new feature introduced, I can always call someone and get instructions within a few minutes.”

“The quality of the Diligent Boards product was outstanding compared with the competition. Then again, Diligent had their solution long before the iPad was introduced. Many other solutions entered the market with the introduction of apps and are in catch-up mode. And Diligent innovates its solution in response to changing customer needs to stay ahead of the curve.”
