BoardLink

Optimize Board Performance

Thomson Reuters Accelus BoardLink is a secure, Web-based board portal, with an optional iPad app, that enables board members to communicate and share documents, create topic-specific workspaces, compile and share board books, and provides a single, secure portal for corporate secretaries and board members to access critical business intelligence and board committee documents.

BoardLink is designed to enable corporate secretaries and board members to manage the quarterly business activities of the board, stay up to date on the latest business news and regulatory changes, manage multiple layers of risk, and optimize governance and disclosure initiatives.

Protect Your Board

If your security isn’t above reproach, nothing else matters.

As board information and communications move from print to online formats, security has never been more critical to the well being of your business. With so much sensitive and company-critical information passing back and forth through online Board portals, security has to be airtight at every stage, without fail. Cyberspace is rife with hackers trying to gain access to public company information – and they’re smarter and more cunning than ever. The risks have never been higher in terms of fines, penalties, lost revenue and reputation.

Top to bottom your BoardLink site is backed by the highest level of security possible.

• Relevant content from the company with many years of experience delivering intelligent financial and legal information to professional markets
• Unlike most competitors, we own and operate every link in the security chain of your Board portal - not a single phase is outsourced, off-shored or done by a third party
• Information is encrypted so it can’t be hacked or breached
• Authentication protocols ensure only authorized people have access
