Essential Board Governance software for those who need it
Overall Satisfaction with Diligent Boards
We are a medium-sized family-owned business. However, we comprise several companies. Each has a board, a Remuneration Committee, and other groups. Before Diligent getting a board pack together was a long, manual process. Items arrived late, and the entire crew had to be resent. It was all handled in email and folders, and sometimes, people showed up with out-of-date packs. Everything was manual and slow. Now with Diligent, we have Boards, committees, and senior leadership teams all using the system. Everything is digital, up to date, and synchronized. It took less time to set up a template skeleton for every single board pack to use going forward than manually setting up a single meeting. It's a real game-changer. That doesn't even include its other functionality, circular resolutions, notations, and voting.

We trust Diligent security. Obviously the board meeting have extremely confidential and high level information presented and discussed. Connecting the system to our Azure AD SSO means access to the software is tightly controlled. Then there is the internal security around who can see what and do what within the platform. We can be confident that only those who we want to see the information are seeing it.
This was a product recommended to use by a trusted network contact. We did not look at any other systems for this kind of software. Once we evaluated its capabilities, it was evident that it met our needs. We implemented based on that work without looking at alternatives in the market in this instance.
