102 Diligent Testimonials

"We’ve never looked back. I was impressed with the functionality of the programme, but more than that, the training and coaching support was key to adopting it."

"As soon as they got hands-on experience with Diligent’s board portal solution, every member of the board adopted it immediately. The app is so easy to use and loses nothing of the original paper versions. You can read, highlight and make annotations just like you can with paper. But updates and revisions are delivered in real time. Better still, you can say goodbye to the weight of all that paper.”

“A week before a meeting, I send out an email, and remind board members that the material is ready. They have much more time to review it and internalize the information before sessions take place.”

“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.”

“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.”
