Thomson Reuters BoardLink has enhanced and adapted its functionality to include strategic business insight for directors, new corporate governance features like online voting and a sharply enhanced user experience. These key developments, shaped in conjunction with Thomson Reuters board clients, continue to take the solution beyond a board portal to a secure corporate governance solution that helps better inform and equip boards in an environment of increased scrutiny from investors, regulators and the media.

Now available via the BoardLink iPad application are new best practice corporate governance features, such as online voting capabilities, that allow board members to vote on important activities and agenda items for discussion. These further streamline workflow process, allowing time-pressed boards to accomplish more within a single, secure online environment. A sharper, more intuitive iPad user experience provides greater power and ease of use to increasingly mobile directors and enhances sign-in process, workflow functionality and navigation.

"These latest updates mark BoardLink’s transformation from a board meeting tool to a board governance solution,” said Kevin Ritchey, senior vice president, Governance, Transactions & Legal Risk, Thomson Reuters. “Board members and executive management should see their governance enhanced through strategic business insight on their industry and company, and new workflow tools that will complement their existing ability to remotely access critical internal information."

Thomson Reuters BoardLink iPad app is a powerful tool to support increasingly mobile board members, along with a secure, Web-based board portal for Corporate and Company Secretaries to manage Board workflow. This enables users to communicate and share documents, create topic-specific workspaces, compile and share board books, and have access to critical business intelligence and board committee documents.
