Nasdaq’s Directors Desk corporate governance offering will be expanding its presence in the Canadian market, with the opening of two new data centers in Ontario, officials say.
Nasdaq expects the move will enable it “to more effectively service clients,” according to a company statement. Just like Nasdaq’s servers in the U.S. and Sweden, the Canadian servers will be audited against the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) 16 level II standards.
Directors Desk has also signed on as a sponsor of the Canadian Society of Corporate Secretaries, and will be present at a number of their events throughout the year. Directors Desk is a digital productivity suite, which streamlines workflow and communications, “allowing corporate secretaries, executives and board members to redirect their energy to developing strategies” for their organizations, the statement says. Directors Desk is a fully hosted platform.
“We are proud to expand our presence in Canada to provide corporate secretaries in the region a collaborative solution to improve efficiencies around the governance process,” says Adam Ross, vice president and head of governance Solutions at Nasdaq, in a statement. “With stepped-up pressure on Canadian companies and far greater visibility, boards are actively seeking ways to improve their performance and effectiveness.”
