Effective Board Portal Software
Board portals offer many benefits for board members as well as administrators. Directors can easily and safely access their material for meetings to help prepare meetings. Administrators can make it easier for creating digital board packages and meeting minutes, and dispersing action items. This allows for more efficient governance and also saves time for the administrative staff and the board.
When selecting a vendor to work with, make sure they provide 24/7 client support with experienced professionals. This will help ensure that any concerns or questions can be addressed immediately, especially when you need it most. In addition, consider the way in which a service’s customer support is rated by peers and whether they’ve won industry awards for outstanding support.
Some vendors charge extra for additional committees such as administrators, training, or data storage. Compare these extra costs when comparing prices to see the effect on the overall cost.
Try it before you buy. Ask vendors if they can offer a free trial period to let you test the functions and see how well it fits your requirements. Search for vendors that have an application for mobile devices to allow directors to access the application from their preferred devices while traveling on business. This will allow them to keep up-to-date with meeting agendas and notes, and also be able to attend meetings remotely.
