ExecConnect is the essential resource for organizations wishing to share documents on a board or executive management level for meetings, company policies and other related documentation. ExecConnect provides for a secure and flexible manner to upload content via a dedicated portal, accessed via any internet browser. Company administrators can easily create meetings, upload documents, set preferences and access rights to individual users right down to a meeting agenda item level (for example only select board members can be given access to the Remuneration Committee documents for a specific meeting agenda item). Board and Executive management members can then access meetings and related documentation through the ExecConnect app (with full annotation functionality) or by signing into the web version (with limited annotation functionality). A unique aspect of ExecConnect is the ability for Board Members who sit on multiple DIFFERENT company boards to access each company’s board documents with a single app sign on. ExecConnect incorporates the following functionality: • Secure and safe encryption of all documentation with the most update encryption methodologies. • Single sign-on with the ability to access multiple company boards • The ability to work in an online & offline environment • Secure backup of all annotations • Printing of all annotations • Ability to archive expired meetings • Accessibility of documents through the app (full functionality) or web portal (limited functionality) • Annotational functionality includes pen & drawing tool, highlighting and commenting • Ease of navigation through the various documents via a Meeting Agenda, Thumbnail View, Bookmarking pages and Annotation Summary. • The ability to search words & phrases • Print & email of documents (this is an access dependent feature) • Instant granting & termination of access rights to documentation • Remote wiping of documentation on the device • User management & reset of passwords
