MONTREAL, QUEBEC — (Marketwired) — 01/20/15 — Leading Boards, a Canadian company offering a highly secure and user-friendly portal enabling paperless management by boards of directors and committees, announces that Group Germain Hotels, which owns and operates Le Germain Hotels and Alt Hotels across Canada, has renewed its commitment to the company–s paperless solution, designed to help directors meet new governance challenges.
The Leading Boards board portal enables directors to use a computer or iPad tablet to consult the information needed for their meetings, including agendas and minutes. They can also access the archives, where documents related to previous meetings are stored, as well as the documentation centre, which contains the company–s policies, financial statements and more. Additionally, this Quebec-developed solution simplifies management tasks and promotes good governance practices. Since documents on the portal are encrypted, the transmission of board of director documents is also very secure. Furthermore, these documents are hosted on ISO 27001-certified servers that are installed in the client–s country of residence, and therefore not subject to foreign laws.
“What we needed was a simple, multiplatform solution that our Board of Directors could easily use to stay informed of the progress of current files,” explained Christiane Germain, Co-President, Group Germain Hotels. “Now we have a technology that allows everyone to interact in real time and make informed decisions.”
“The user-friendliness of the portal, the data security, digital experience and significant savings in management costs are just some of the qualities that instantly appealed to the members of the management team,” said Jean-Marc Felio, President of Leading Boards. “This reflects the quality of our solution and underlines our expertise and leadership in the field.”
