Case Study: Aegon saves a week of board preparation and cuts paper use with Diligent Boards

Aegon makes an investment in its future with the Diligent board portal

Aegon, a Dutch-headquartered insurer, pensions and asset manager operating in 25+ countries with €475 billion under management and 26,000 employees, faced a time-consuming governance process: quarterly supervisory board meetings required preparing and couriering hundreds-page board books, creating logistical headaches plus version control and security risks.

After vetting four vendors, Aegon chose Diligent Boards for its global footprint and strong “click factor.” The portal cut preparation time (saving up to a week’s worth of labor across a year of meetings), drastically reduced paper use, and quickly won over directors via an intuitive iPad interface that required minimal training; ongoing high-quality support further cemented the partnership.
