Board portals for meetings are technology that helps streamline meeting-management processes. As opposed to the nascent software which only allowed access to books for board meetings Modern portals provide more functionality. When you’re trying out demos from different portal vendors, you want to have a checklist of important questions to ask.
What are the primary advantages of a boardportal?
Board portals let you create and distribute agendas using the necessary documents. Portals make it easy to keep track of voting, resolutions and action items.
Boards are able to comment on documents and collaborate in real-time regardless of the device or platform during a meeting. Security-focused complex business transactions portals can even offer electronic signatures to speed up document signing, and prevent sensitive data from falling into in the wrong hands.
The site automatically generates minutes of meetings, eliminating the need for secretaries manually taking notes during the meeting. This lets your board focus more on strategic issues and less time working on administrative tasks.
Whether you’re considering adopting an entirely new board portal or upgrading your current one, ask about how easy it is to use. Board members are busy and don’t want to spend time learning a new system. Consider features that will make it easier for them to adopt, such as how-to video as well as FAQs, remote training sessions, and a single point of contact for technical assistance. Also, consider the way that your vendor’s pricing aligns with your organization’s budget.
