Azeus Systems Ltd

Convene board portal and governance software

Working for governments and businesses in several parts of the world, Azeus Systems Ltd builds software products and system projects. Its principal product is Convene, a board portal that gives directors secure access to board papers and documents on iPad, Android and the web. The company says Convene lets board members work on a mobile device while the documents stay in a centrally managed set.

Convene also includes an e-AGM tool, which the company describes as an end-to-end solution that lets listed companies run virtual and hybrid annual general meetings in line with the relevant rules, a setup the company presents as well suited to hybrid governance. Shareholders, share registrars and scrutineers can take part in these meetings as well as the company itself.

Public sector and social care systems

Through its UK arm, the company has built systems for public bodies. A resource scheduling and management system it developed for Jisc went live in 2014. In October 2015 the company was appointed by a group that counted the UK and Scottish Parliaments among its members, with The Stationery Office acting as its lead body. In early 2012 the Hong Kong Public Libraries commissioned it to redevelop the Multimedia Information System as a web-based, enterprise-wide multimedia platform.

AzeusCare is a flexible system that brings the management and delivery of social care together. The company says it promotes personalisation, prevention and the delivery of good outcomes for the people who use services. The Azeus group also describes its public-sector projects as spanning both the UK and Hong Kong.

Awards and recognition

The company lists a 2021 Golden Peacock award for an innovative product, and a Stevie Award from the 2018 Asia-Pacific competition. It also reports that Convene was named in a G2 board management report, which it presents as recognition of its standing, and it publishes case studies and webinars on board governance and related topics.
