About Board Portal Software for Effective Boards
Board portals have many advantages for board members as well as administrators. Directors can easily and confidentially access their materials for their meetings, allowing them to prepare for meetings. Administrators can streamline the process of preparing digital board packages as well as taking minutes of meetings and then distributing actions items. This facilitates more efficient governance, and also saves time for the administrative staff as well as the board.
When selecting a vendor to choose, make sure that they offer 24/7 client support by professionals who have experience. This will help ensure that any issues or questions can be addressed quickly in the time you need it the most. Additionally, think about how a service’s support is evaluated by peers and if they’ve won industry awards for outstanding support.
Some vendors charge additional fees for additional committees or administrators, as well as training and data storage. When comparing pricing, look at these additional costs to see how they impact your overall cost.
Try it before you purchase. Ask vendors if they can offer a trial for a nominal fee to test the features and see how it will meet your needs. Look for vendors who offer an app for mobile to allow directors to access the solution from their preferred devices when on business trips. This will let them keep track of meeting agendas and notes, and be able to attend meetings remotely.
