A board portal online is a secure, comprehensive and user-friendly platform that improves the efficiency of board meetings. It also facilitates effective collaboration, improves governance practices, and helps keep organizations in compliance with regulations.

Although there are many providers that offer board management software, selecting the most suitable one can be a daunting task. Asking the following questions during the evaluation process can help you choose the ideal solution for your needs.

Does the system have the capacity to grow and is it flexible? Does it allow the addition of new users or features as your business grows? What is the system’s approach to backup and security of data? Does it use an infrastructure that is cloud-based and is in compliance with the industry standards?

How does the system communicate changes and updates to all users? Does the vendor offer easy-to-follow training materials and assistance? Are support hours available all year round?

Increased Productivity – Streamlines the preparation for board and committee meetings by allowing immediate access to the most up-to-date reports and analytics. This allows for more time to focus in discussion and decision-making.

Better Governance Documents, votes and discussions are securely stored in the portal, rather than in individual email inboxes. This reduces security risks and preserves privacy.

Seamless Remote Meetings allows seamless collaboration between participants regardless of location through video conferencing capabilities, real-time document sharing, page synchronization, and laser pointer tool. Action items are also automatically synchronized to participants’ calendars online, and meeting notes can either be made during the meeting or after.
