How can cooperatives benefit from the Nimbus Solutions Suite?

Nimbus offers cooperatives a comprehensive platform featuring perfectly integrated technologies. The Nimbus Solutions Suite simplifies processes and strengthens member participation. From the invitation to the voting procedure and the establishment of reports, every transaction can be carried out digitally, ensuring top security and transparency. This reduces costs (print mailings are expensive) and is environmentally friendly.

Is Nimbus suitable for physical, virtual, as well as hybrid cooperative members’ meetings?

Yes, the provider’s voting and election infrastructure supports all types of events: physical, virtual, as well as hybrid, both legally compliant and in line with statutory requirements. Nimbus regularly conducts all three types of AGMs; the team has a lot of experience and can respond to challenges quickly and confidently. For many years, Nimbus has counted more than 150 Swiss cooperatives, companies, and corporations among its very satisfied clients.

What are the services provided by Nimbus in the context of virtual General Meetings?

Nimbus assists cooperatives from planning right to conducting the General Meeting. This includes providing legal and technical advice, setting up the digital AGM platform, supporting clients throughout the planning and organization phase, assisting them during the virtual meeting itself, as well as evaluating results and establishing reports. If the cooperative desires, Nimbus also takes up the entire member communication related to the virtual AGM.

How can Nimbus guarantee data protection?

Information security is an integral part of Nimbus’ value proposition, as well as an expression of the technology company’s commitment to quality. Managing a share register and carrying out a cooperative meeting are security-critical activities. This is why Nimbus software is “made in Switzerland” and compliant with highest security standards. All systems and data are hosted in redundant Swiss data centres; Nimbus’ information security management system (ISMS) is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001, and its entire infrastructure undergoes penetration tests on a regular basis.
