Board portal software is an effective tool for companies seeking to improve their governance. But with so many vendors available, which do you pick? It is important to ask questions during demos to help choose the right software.
How easy is the platform for members to use? The experience of board members is crucial, whether it’s through an easy interface or a more complex app. Look for features to ensure that directors are able to make use of the system without extensive training. Also, consider how easy it is to add directors, upload documents, and adjust license assignment for board admins.
Are there features that permit effective gathering of data during meetings? Look for tools like live chat and polling, as well as Q&A and proposal feeds that enable all participants to share ideas and offer feedback in real-time. This will ensure that everyone is fully engaged and that the board is able make informed decisions during meetings online.
Is it simple to draft and distribute meeting minutes? Look for features that allow you to create a meeting agenda and then automatically generate a draft of the minutes. This will save you from having to manage several spreadsheets or Word documents which contain detailed meeting notes.
Do you offer features that let directors work in between meetings? Look for task managers that define deadlines and responsibilities, so no one gets confused about who is required to finish the campaign budget, snap photos at a volunteer event, or complete any other task.
