“Cost and the ability to get updates immediately were important to us. We needed to know that the data on the system was secure and could not be lost.”
"I see many positive improvements since Diligent Boards has been implemented. I like the fact that everything you need is available in seconds at the touch of your hand; it’s all in the same place and it’s easy to find meeting minutes and committee documents from, say, five months back. It’s good to have a historical record of everything the Board has accomplished. So I would say that our overall experience with Diligent Boards has been very positive and only continues to get better."
"Going into the next AGM, we are ready to talk with data rather than just words. We want to be proactive rather than reactive, and explain our choices upfront rather than counter criticisms with assumptions."
"The way we look at Diligent, is yes it has removed many, many thousands of pounds of cost from the organization but it’s the experience that has really driven the Director to make the right decisions."
“What we wanted most was the ability to adopt the solution without any productivity hiccups. And since the Diligent Boards solution is so intuitive, none of our directors had any issues.”
“The before and after is black and white. Our executives have everything they need at their fingertips. Looking back at the way we used to do it, I don’t know how we managed.”
“We saw a number of solutions that were much too complex, and obviously designed to suit the needs of larger organisations. But we were pleasantly surprised by the Diligent Boards solution – its simple functionality and impressive security were really appealing.”
“After switching from paper to Diligent’s digital board portal, the ExtraCare team found they saved up to two weeks of time annually. Beyond time, the solution saves the Trust the expense of shipping and materials, which is significant for a charitable organisation.”
“Intu Properties has saved an estimated 50% of time in the production of board materials by using Diligent Boards.”
“Thanks to Diligent Boards, the time pressure that previously prevailed when having to send paper documents to the Foundation boards is now a thing of the past.”
“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."
“Using Diligent Boards means they can have the materials in advance. Even if there are last-minute changes, they will still have the latest updates in time to review them. We don’t have to re-print lots of paper packs, which makes the process much more efficient.”
“Knowing that we needed to initiate focused training to quickly address a learning curve, I recognized Diligent’s personalized investment in our team up-front.”
“Some solutions looked appealing, but as they were based entirely on third-party software, we were worried about possible bugs and issues with updates. Our head of security examined and approved Diligent Boards for the secure platform it provided, and was completely happy.”
“When we began creating our entry into the 2012 Innovation awards, we calculated our production costs both before and after we began using the Diligent Boards solution. I don’t think anyone expected the results to be this dramatic.”
