Latest integration adds to Diligent’s suite of more than 90 solution enhancements and is designed to help governance professionals seamlessly and securely incorporate Microsoft 365 files into board books, saving time and resources in board meeting preparation

Diligent, a leading GRC SaaS company, today announced the integration of Microsoft 365 with Diligent’s board and leadership collaboration solution. Diligent is available on Microsoft AppSource, an online cloud marketplace providing tailored line-of-business solutions, as well as directly through Microsoft Teams.

Corporate secretaries, general counsels and other governance professionals now have the ability to upload Microsoft documents to Diligent Boards directly from Microsoft applications. Diligent’s intuitive user experience, combined with its robust integration with leading productivity tools, cuts meeting preparation time in half compared to competitive solutions, according to a Total Economic Impact™ of Diligent Board & Leadership Collaboration commissioned study, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Diligent.

Diligent’s Integration with Microsoft 365 addresses key pain points in board communication, allowing corporate secretaries to protect sensitive information within Diligent’s secure platform and reduce meeting preparation time, all while meeting stakeholders in the tools they already use. In addition to in-app editing and collaborating, users now have the ability to start a Microsoft 365 document directly within the application, so they can securely share information without sacrificing convenience or time.
