Maritime super will be using iqBoard to reduce paper documentation for its 17-member board and sub-committee meetings, according to IQ Group.

The super fund’s data will be held securely in an onshore cloud computing environment via the iqBoard mobile app for iPads, which will provide complete mobile connectivity for board members situated across the country.

This platform will save the fund’s secretariat team over 10 weeks a year in manually preparing board and sub-committee documents. It will also eliminate the cost of delivering paper-based board packs to directors in different parts of the country, the group stated.

Glenn Davis, Maritime Super’s executive officer, said the selection of iqBoard was based on the fund's experience with IQ Group’s well-established superannuation expertise.  

"We already trusted the quality and service capabilities of IQ Group for a range of platform administration projects that they have delivered for us over the years. Additionally, they have developed very strong testimonies to the success of iqBoard within the superannuation sector and that provided great reassurance for us,” said Mr Davis.

Board packs will be displayed in a secure environment with multiple layers of authentication, encryption, enforced password management and remote data wiping if the device happens to be lost or stolen. 

"The comprehensive implementation has been completed with a smooth transition from a system very familiar to all users to a new operating and communications platform for our executive team. The support we have received from IQ Group has ensured that this has been highly successful,” said Mr Davis.
