“We trust Diligent security. Obviously, the board meetings have extremely confidential and high-level information presented and discussed...We can be confident that only those who we want to see the information are seeing it.”

Collecting signatures from legal counsel, executive teams and board members while working remote can be a challenge as individuals don’t have the option to hand over a pen and request a signature. Diligent Boards is integrated with DocuSign to make the request for digital signatures easier than ever. This feature enables providing approvals and signatures that impact imperative uses across industries, including:
- Signing of contracts
- Approval of meeting minutes
- Unanimous written consents
- Approval on financial transactions or grant approvals
Companies that switched to Diligent’s board management solution saw the following benefits:
- 50–60% time savings for board and committee material creation, leading to more than $62,000 in time savings over three years
- More than 1,600 hours saved creating and distributing materials, 623 hours saved by internal IT support, over three years
- Reduced risk of a breach through lost materials or compromised accounts, totaling nearly $21,000 in savings over three years
“It shows up on your phone. It says, ‘You have a message,’ but it doesn’t send the sensitive data. So at no time does any of our material leave the secure portal. And that was our biggest concern.”
