Leading asset management firms have adopted BoardVantage because the system raises productivity of the corporate secretary office while increasing visibility for trustees and third parties. The portal is straightforward to use and, because board materials are sensitive, security meets or exceeds the standards of IT departments in global financial institutions.
BoardVantage is economically attractive because funds are able to go paper-light (or paperless) within 3 to 6 months which lets them save tens of thousands of dollars on unnecessary printing costs.
