About the Board Portal Software that is Effective

Board portals can provide a variety of benefits for both board members and administrators. For directors, they offer an easy and secure access to historical and current meeting materials to help prepare for meetings. For administrators, they simplify the process of creating digital board packs, taking meeting minutes, and distributing actions items. This makes for more efficient governance and helps save time for both the board as well as the administrative staff of the board.

When choosing a vendor, ensure that they offer dedicated customer support that is staffed by experienced professionals who are available 24/7. This will guarantee that you receive immediate assistance for any questions or concerns particularly at times when you’re most in need. In addition, consider how a provider’s customer service is assessed by peers and whether they’ve received industry awards for outstanding customer support.

Some vendors charge extra for additional committees, administrators, training and storage of data. Take a look at these additional costs in comparing prices and see the effect on the overall cost.

Try it before you purchase. Ask vendors for a free trial to test whether the software can meet your needs. Also look for a company that has a mobile application that allows directors to use the software on their preferred devices, even when traveling to work. This will let them keep track of meeting agendas and notes, and be able to attend meetings remotely.
