A delegation led by IronOne founder and CEO Lakmini Wijesundera participated in the conference.

IronOne Technologies also took Silver sponsorship of this forum and provided a comprehensive demonstration on Board Meeting Automation and quick training sessions on the product to visitors to its stall.

The demonstrations outlined the essential personal skills needed at board meetings, including dealing with difficult directors and handling disagreements while taking accurate minutes using the product's features designed to overcome such challenges.

BoardPAC helps users to view and approve papers from the ease of a Board Member's iPad. It has a host of features such as collaboration, meeting management and RSVP, search and refer to past board papers and annotate and approve documents and update agendas.

The solution meets the highest security standards including the ISO 27001 certification, which means that all sensitive information is stored on servers in the firm's home country, making such information beyond the reach of acts governing other countries, such as the US Patriot Act.

Ms Wijesundera said, "Board PAC is one of our flagship products and is emerging as a global leader in its category. Given the profile of attendees, the ICSA annual conference was the perfect forum to demonstrate the product. Though it was our first time in London, we found the delegates receptive to seeing how we use technology to support the needs of board members and administrators, manage sensitive information securely and drive organisational performance," she said.
