Board Management Software and Board Portals

Board Management Software is known to revive boards by improving efficiency, productivity and output. These tools, often referred to by the term “Board portals,” allow you to save and share documents in a central location to schedule meetings, as well as more. They also offer advanced cyber protection. These tools also increase accountability by making sure that documents from the board aren’t buried on the wrong places on members’ desktops, inboxes, or in other places. Many of them have task tracking features that can track progress and even identifier the person responsible for each metric. This helps eliminate gray areas and allowing tasks to slip through the cracks. Survey and voting options can also be added that will assist with traditional board functions like voting on agenda items and gathering feedback from members during and after meetings.

Choosing the right Board portal for your organization is essential and there are a lot of things to consider. Find a vendor that is a leader in training and support for groups to allow new members to be up and running quickly. Choose a solution that offers electronic signature capabilities, which eliminates the need for signatures made on paper, and also to keep your files private.
