An online board portal is a complete, secure, and easy-to-use platform that enhances the efficiency of board meetings. It can also help facilitate collaboration, enhances governance practices, and helps keep organizations in compliance with laws.
There are many providers of board management software. However, selecting the most suitable one is a difficult task. Asking the following questions during the evaluation process will help you choose the ideal solution for your requirements.
Does the system have the capacity to grow and is it flexible? Does it allow you to add additional users or features as your company grows? What are the features that the system handles for backups and security of data? Does it use cloud-based infrastructure that conforms to industry standards?
How does the system communicate updates and changes to all users? Does the vendor provide user-friendly support and training materials? Are support hours available all hours of the day, every day?
Increased Productivity — Streamlines the preparation for board and committee meetings by allowing instant access to the most recent reports and analytics. This allows more time to spend on discussion and decision-making.
Better Governance — Stores documents discussions, votes, and documents safely in the portal rather than residing in personal email inboxes decreasing security risks and maintaining privacy.
Seamless Remote Meetings – Allows seamless collaboration between members regardless of location via video meeting, real-time document sharing and page synchronization. Laser pointer tools are also accessible. Action items are also automatically synchronized to participants’ digital calendars, and meeting notes can either be made at the time of the meeting or afterwards.
