The City of Montreal Adopts Leading Boards' Online Governance Solution for its Committees

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 18, 2016) - The City of Montreal has selected its LEADING BOARDS online governance solution following a request for proposals aimed at addressing some of the challenges of a smart and digital city, particularly in the running of various committees. In the long term, a total of 32 committees and boards at the City of Montreal will benefit from the implementation of the Leading Boards platform, a simple and intuitive portal for paperless management of boards of directors and their committees.

Accessible in real-time and on demand, Leading Boards' online governance solution enables users to fully apply their expertise with a collaborative and high-performing tool complete with advanced management features, an intuitive interface, versatility and accessibility. The result is increased meeting productivity, providing unique governance and communication leadership for the benefit of the entire organization. The Leading Boards portal is a Canadian solution that meets the most stringent international information security standards (ISO 27001) and is supported by a data archiving policy protecting data access.

Last May, the City of Montreal awarded a contract following the issuance of its request for proposals for the supply and implementation of a SaaS solution for Paperless Instances. The Leading Boards service stood out from its main competitors by offering the only solution to comply with all requirements. "Our service is exactly in line with the strategic orientations the City of Montreal wishes to adopt to go digital, and this new partnership is very meaningful to us," said Jean-Marc Félio, President of Réseau C.A. "The agreement also shows how our online governance platform can adapt to public administration in terms of efficiently operationalizing its decisions and easily integrate the decision-making process of a municipal organization," added Jean-Marc Félio.
