Board management software is a great way to manage meetings effectively. It makes meeting management more efficient through reducing the printing of materials, removing the requirement that certain people attend meetings, and allowing remote participation. It can also help reduce the cost of administration when scheduling meetings and can help the environment by adopting meetings that are paperless.

However there is a difference in the quality of board management tools. Not all tools for managing boards are equally. When evaluating the various options, look for features that are essential to your requirements such as secure document storage or responsive support. Once you have a list of “must-haves” it is time to evaluate different providers. A good provider will offer trial periods for free and allow you to run an actual meeting using the system, so you can see how intuitive it is for all the participants in your board cycle.

Ensure your solution is compatible with all devices (desktop as well as tablet and mobile). It should be easy to use and feature an elegant, simple design. It should have features like laser pointer tool and shared annotations. It can also take minutes and record the meeting during the meeting. It should also allow participants to use their preferred electronic signature app for compliance purposes.

A good portal for board members provides members with powerful tools to boost participation in the meeting. This is achieved by allowing members to make choices using tools for polling, and then funneling the results onto an analysis dashboard that can be quickly analyzed. It should also allow members to assign tasks, inform about the progress of their work and set deadlines.
