Nasdaq's Boardvantage® to Expand Presence in Canada
18 August 2017 - 3:15AM
Nasdaq Corporate Solutions, a business of Nasdaq Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ), announced plans for the expansion of its
Boardvantage board portal and leadership collaboration software
into Canada through access to two data centers in Ontario. When the
regional data centers open later this year, Nasdaq Corporate
Solutions will be able to offer Boardvantage clients the same
benefit of a local Canadian presence that its Directors Desk®
clients already receive. The new data centers will be more
effective in serving Nasdaq's growing, Boardvantage client base in
Canada. The Canadian data centers are audited against CSAE 3416
Type 2 standards, equivalent to SSAE 16 level II standards in the
U.S.
"We are incredibly proud to extend our presence in Canada and to
offer corporate clients in the region a platform to improve
efficiencies around the governance and collaboration processes,"
said Stacie Swanstrom, Executive Vice President and Head of
Nasdaq Corporate Solutions. “We are committed to improving
our clients’ experience by offering solutions that have the
potential to enhance their productivity both in the boardroom and
beyond.”
In addition, Boardvantage is a sponsor of the Governance
Professionals of Canada Annual Corporate Governance Conference, in
St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, August 20-23, 2017.
Representatives from Nasdaq Corporate Solutions will be in
attendance to discuss the benefits of board portal and leadership
collaboration software to Canada-based governance
professionals.
Boardvantage is designed for boards and leadership teams to help
streamline meeting processes, accelerate decision-making, and
strengthen governance. Used by board members, corporate secretaries
and C-level executives at public, private and non-profit
organizations worldwide – and increasingly across Canada – Nasdaq’s
board portals combine rich functionality with many features
incorporating security, ease-of-use, and mobility.
Since its May 2016 acquisition of Boardvantage, the Nasdaq
Corporate Solutions business of Nasdaq, Inc. has invested in
enhancements to its board portal and leadership collaboration
platforms, including both Boardvantage and Directors Desk, to
support better workflows in response to client feedback. In June
2017, Nasdaq Corporate Solutions announced a partnership with the
Center for Board Excellence to offer board assessments and
compliance questionnaires. More than 100,000 users – including
CEOs, CFOs, Chief Risk Officers, corporate secretaries, general
counsels, directors, and board chairs – in over 70 countries rely
on Nasdaq Corporate Solutions for corporate governance and
collaboration software.
