Cbus implements iqBoard
Cbus has leveraged technology to improve board communications, implementing IQ Group's iqBoard solution for the iPad.
iqBoard will enable mobile access to electronic board and committee meeting packs and information for the Cbus board and its four sub-committees.
Cbus had already established a platform via Adobe Acrobat with distribution via email, although the experience was not standardised and collaboration was inconsistent due to the plethora of applications needed.
The platform was not centralised, unlike the iqBoard which is hosted from IQ Group's onshore cloud computing environment, iqCloud. Previously, board members needed to rely on printed packs and distribute multiple files separately to conform to size limits.
Cbus general manager of products and business intelligence Sean Leonard said the fund had identified four issues which iqBoard had addressed.
"We needed to standardise the consumer experience for board packs, develop a guaranteed delivery platform and rapid delivery cycle for directors and, importantly, address the ongoing issues of the high cost of producing the packs in terms of time and materials," he said.
Leonard said the IQ Group helped identify Microsoft SharePoint - iqBoard's underlying platform - as the most suitable collaborative tool for the fund's concerns. He said SharePoint skills could be brought across to future projects.
"We could immediately deliver an improved consumer experience to board and sub-committee members in a very short time frame, as well as look to future extensions of the benefits of SharePoint technology across other applications within the business for areas such as project management," he said.
QSuper and Local Government Super also use the iqBoard platform.
The IQ Business Group recently shortened its company name to The IQ Group to simplify the company's value proposition and appeal to a broader market.
