Messenger overview

What is Messenger?

Diligent Messenger is a secure board communication and real-time collaboration tool designed to mitigate the risk of communication breaches and leaks. Designed for board members within healthcare, education, financial services, banks, and not-for-profits, Diligent Messenger can integrate with board meeting management software to enable secure messaging and on-the-go collaboration.

In order to facilitate real-time collaboration, Diligent Messenger allows users to create pre-set contact groups and group conversations can be launched without the risk of sending messages to the wrong contacts. Contacts, groups, and conversation threads are automatically synchronized across devices so that messages can be sent and received on-the-go and from any device. Controls can be set up to manage conversations including email forwarding, and copy and paste blocking.

For enhanced security, Diligent Messenger also provides controls over permissions for board members within each conversation. Administrators are able to customize settings for governance and regulatory requirements such as login authentication measures, message retention parameters, and custom archiving of messages. Users can also wipe Diligent Messenger data from lost or compromised devices for security purposes.

Key benefits of using Messenger

  • Integrate with virtual board meeting management solutions, such as Diligent Boards, to enable cross-platform, transparent communication and real-time collaboration.

  • Ensure that compromised devices are secured and no data is breached with easy wiping of Diligent Messenger conversations and archives when a device is lost or stolen.

  • Find information from archived chats using the full search capability. Diligent Messenger automatically saves important messages and ensures they can be found quickly when needed.

  • Automatically synchronize groups and contacts from Diligent Boards to quickly start conversations with other board members and share files or documents as attachments.

  • Control security with measures such as blocking forwarding or copy & pasting, as well as setting up touch ID with fingerprint technology for secure access.

    “In my opinion although it is very simple and intuitive, it is very rigid in terms of not being able to move the windows, which can generate waste of time for the users.”
