Telco giant Singtel and BoardPAC have announced a partnership to offer the award-winning Sri Lanka-developed BoardPAC paperless meeting and corporate governance solution to companies across Singapore.
The collaboration will enable companies to increase the ease of management communications and strategic discussions by building and customising a board portal that relegates bulky paper documents to the past. With BoardPAC, directors, senior management and company administrators can access, review and approve vital board documents on their iPads from virtually anywhere, even on the go.
One of the largest listed Singaporean companies on the Singapore Exchange by market capitalisation, Singtel will promote the innovative technology platform BoardPAC to the top 100 companies in Singapore and beyond, under this partnership. As Asia’s leading communications group, Singtel serves over half a billion customers and covers territories across Asia and Africa that are home to two billion people. The company is always on the lookout for technologies and solutions that will help customers to connect, communicate and live better.
“Singtel is one of the most trusted brands in Singapore,” said Lakmini Wijesundera, Chief Executive Officer and founder of BoardPAC. “The company is positioned to lead digital innovation and is focused on delivering the most reliable digital experience to its customers, including companies that are looking for ways to enhance their business operations through technology. We are enthusiastic about our partnership as we see Singapore as an important growth market for board portal services.”
“With the fast pace of business, it is critical that boards of directors have quick, efficient access to board documents, especially since many board members are constantly on the move and may not have access to printed board documents,” Rajitha Kuruppumulle, Chief Operating Officer of BoardPAC added. “With BoardPAC’s proven success in building board portals, we are confident that Singtel’s corporate customers will be able to focus more time on making the right decisions, and less time on dealing with bulky paper-based board documents or waiting to review board materials.”
A National Best Quality Software Gold award and Green IT award winner, BoardPAC provides users the ability to view and approve papers from the ease of a Board Member’s iPad. It has a host of features such as collaboration, meeting management and RSVP, the ability to search and refer to past board papers, as well as to annotate and approve documents and update agendas. The solution meets with the highest security standards including the ISO 27001 certification.
The solution already has the largest market share and is the leader for board meeting automation in Sri Lanka and in Malaysia and is emerging as a strong player in many Asia Pacific markets including Singapore. BoardPAC’s leading international users include Deloitte, Petronas, Prudential, MayBank, RHB Banking Group, HongLeong Banking Group, Bursa Malaysia (Stock Exchange of Malaysia), Affin Bank, Astro, Guoco Group and Lam Soon HK Group. BoardPAC is also a trusted board automation solution used by top notch companies in Sri Lanka, including Carson Cumberbatch PLC, John Keells Holdings, Commercial Bank, Nations Trust Bank, SriLankan Airlines, Sri Lanka Telecom, Hemas and MAS Holdings as well as the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).
