Board portals for meetings are an essential tool to help simplify and automate the management of meetings, especially for organizations looking to go digital. Board members are able to access documents and information prior to, during, and following meetings and to collaborate in real-time with other directors. Boards that use these tools can see a positive impact on the effectiveness of their meetings, and also their efficiency and productivity throughout the week.
In order to choose the right board portal for your company think about the features it offers and how easy it will be for all your board members to use. The site should have an intuitive design that will reduce the learning curve. It should also be accessible on tablets and desktops.
Some key features to look for include document management, scheduling and calendar integration and meeting minutes creation and tracking. Some portals allow electronic signature and voting to provide more robust functionality and compliance with regulations.
Another aspect that is essential to have is the ability to share documents and links with other team members so they can be working on them as well. This feature reduces time by permitting everyone to work on the same document. This is important for boards that require approval and signatures.
Also, make sure the software you select for your board is compatible with your existing videoconferencing system and provides an easy method for directors to join remote meetings directly from their dashboards.
