Testimonial: BoardSuiteâ„¢, they are offering a €œtotal governance solution€? to ultimately reduce risk.€?-Paul Schneider, Canadian Coalition Good Governance June 14, 2006
€œYou have a very clean and well thought-out solution.€? Luke O'Brien, Esq., General Counsel - VP, Strategy, Brightleaf Corporation
€œBoardSuite is a tool a director cannot live without in this new era of personal director liability€?. Rick Bonner, Corporate Director previously with Delta Uranium
€œFrom what I have seen of BoardSuiteâ„¢ and their product BoardSuiteâ„¢ I believe they are well positioned to support the emerging needs of significant corporate governance reforms currently sweeping North American publicly traded companies. Their customers€™ key stakeholders benefit from having more confidence in the governance practices of the subscribing company. This is significant, because our research has found that higher levels of stakeholder trust and confidence are associated with better business performance metrics, including higher share valuations.€?-Alex Todd President/CEO

€œIf a public company fails to practice good corporate governanceâ„¢, shareholder value will ultimately be adversely affected, potentially significantly. Public companies always have the spotlight on them and so controlling what can be controlled and doing it cost effectively is a key responsibility of the officers and directors of the company. Tools to help keep current on governanceâ„¢ and compliance issues are a good idea for all companies, especially those that are publicly-traded.€? - David J. Cox, PhD., President/CEO, TEC Edmonton, Director QuestPharmaTech Inc. TSX-QPT), Director SemBioSys TSX (SBS)
€œÂ…director Peter Dey told the CFA society that most complaints that he hears about corporate governance going to far are based on concerns that directors have a limited amount of time and are wasting it on due diligence and technical compliance issues. He said governance hasn€™t gone too far, but boards haven€™t done enough to find more efficient processes to free up time to focus on their main task. He said part of good governance is finding ways to resolve this dilemma.€? - Peter Dey, Partner OSLER LLP
€œAs a Director and Officer, I clearly see the merits of BoardSuiteâ„¢ and the benefits it can deliver to our company especially in the area of reducing risks and costs related to governance and compliance.€? - Ryan Maxwell, President/CEO, Director Webbco International
€œI'm a director on a number of boards. I like the companies I work with but I also like my house, I like my car and I don't like being sued. If I'm going to stick my neck out I would like to know that the companies I work with are doing everything they can to keep up with governance and compliance. A service like BoardSuiteâ„¢ reduces my risks of being sued because it makes sure everyone is doing what they should be in the best interest of shareholders.€? - Tom Milne , Director OilSands Quest, Chair Audit Committee
€œI sit on the governance committees of several public and private companies. Many companies are spending a lot of time, money and effort to maintain the highest standards of governance to best represent shareholder interests. A tool to help companies, especially smaller ones, makes the job easier and save money will definitely benefit the bottom line, their ability to raise capital, and permit directors to discharge their fiduciary responsibilities.€?- Dr. Michael Percy, Stanley A. Milner Professor and Dean, Alberta School of Business, Director, Chairman of Governance Committee Epcor, Director Matrikon.
As a director and chair of the governance committee of a non-profit board, I am especially pleased with the efficient, simple, and effective dissemination of information BoardSuiteâ„¢ provides and the record of that communication. Agendas, minutes, financials, etc, are posted to our site and a message is automatically sent to the members who need to know they are available. Records are kept of who collected the information and when and what comments or questions the information prompted. The built in compliance tools provide an easy track for the organization to keep up to date with current and evolving best practices and regulations.
As an insurance broker who has many clients with Directors€™ and Officers€™ liability policies, those same capabilities provide excellent, demonstrable risk management techniques and discipline that impress D - O insurers and will generate the best possible terms and conditions available in the market place. -Guy Forest, CIP, CRM, CAIB, Lloyd Sadd Insurance Brokers Ltd., Director Goodwill Industries (Edmonton).
€œThe BoardSuite team has developed an elegant solution to a challenging problem. Directors and officers immediately appreciate the intelligence about process and compliancy rules built into the service, as well as having important facts and documents at their finger tips.€?-Calvin McElroy, Chairman - CEO, Cquay Technologies Corp.
Our company has officers, directors and investors located in Canada and the US. BoardSuite makes it easy to maintain governance processes and relevant information across our organization, regardless of location, because of the web based deployment. It€™s the glue that insures that no governance issues fall between the cracks in our company.-Bob Tretiak, Chairman, Bridgewerx, Director CTI
€œThe increasing costs and responsibilities of meeting the new national instruments for a junior listed company are becoming ever burdensome. Tools that give a company confidence in meeting their due diligence requirements and insuring that they are executing industry best practices throughout the organization is a valuable asset for any company. €? - Bryan Goudie, CFO, Avery Resources Inc.
