BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 12/05/13 — Directors can now do more, thanks to the new version 5.0 of BoardWorks, Computershare Governance Services- board portal solution. BoardWorks gives directors and board administrators the tools to help them manage their board responsibilities more effectively and efficiently, in a new app that-s easier than ever to use.
“There are many tasks that demand directors- immediate attention, such as reviewing the latest board book changes, signing off on a critical resolution or providing input on a key vote. Our clients need a way to stay connected to their boards and complete these tasks, wherever they might be, even when there-s no Internet connection,” said Andrew Moore, President, Computershare Governance Services. “BoardWorks 5.0 offers a full offline experience to make it easy for directors to take advantage of their downtime in an easy-to-use and secure app.”
Key enhancements for directors include the auto-syncing of data and workflows for faster approvals, and simplified views for multi-board users. BoardWorks 5.0 also features greater personalisation with a fully configurable home page, integration with Apple Calendar, and new language options for French, Spanish, German, and Russian.
“Some board portal apps can get lost in the technology – getting overly complicated in their navigation and becoming confusing to use,” said Tony Ford, Global Head, Product Management. “We worked very hard to find a balance of usability and functionality in this new release. BoardWorks 5.0 is extremely intuitive and easy to use. It offers a combination of usability, data security and overall value that is important to our clients and today-s board of directors.”
