Directors Today
■
Directors are more mobile than ever – travelling, remote
working & multiple offices
■
Need greater flexibility for accessing and working with
board documents
■
Need for greater security – paper is a risk (print from
portals too)
■
Governance increasingly required that directors be more
informed
■
Need for a simpler computer-based interface and
experience compared to laptop/desktop board portals
■
Last-minute changes are common, providing a challenge
for board support teams
■
Need to reduce environmental footprint and reduce
paper/courier use
■
Opportunity to reduce costs

The Apple iPad
■
Fast, simple, instant-on
■
Natural to use, swipe and tap screen
■
Integrates with existing corporate tools,
such as email, diary, documents
■
Our experience: it fits between your
mobile and laptop
□
Phone – has become more of a phone
than smartphone
□
Laptop – has become a tool for
producing and editing, e.g. large word
documents and spreadsheets
□
iPad – for consuming information –
the web, email, reviewing documents.
Why – fast, starts straight away, small
enough to use on train or plane. Ideal
for directors
