What is a Board Portal?

A board portal is specialist governance software that safely and securely delivers digital board packs to directors and their organisation’s secretariat. Streamlined and automated they facilitate better collaboration, encourage better discussions and decision-making, as well as help all stakeholders align around the strategic direction of the business.

They also save money by reducing the costs of printing, couriering and emailing. Board members can access board documents and communicate using an encrypted, in-app messaging system, even when they’re not in the office. They can prepare for meetings online, sign documents online, and in-app, and use the video conferencing integration for virtual meetings if they can’t make it in person.

What over at this website to look for when selecting a board portal

When selecting a board portal vendor, make sure you ask prospective providers to show you their demos and provide detailed troubleshooting and detailed articles on their website. They are also expected to provide you with a complete estimate that includes all up-front and ongoing expenses. Pricing models may differ and are based on flat rates, features, or the number users. It is essential to compare.

The most important aspect of a good board portal is its security. It must encrypt all data while in transit and in rest and offer strict restrictions on access and authentication rights. In addition, it should have an emergency plan that includes an uptime assurance and regularly undergo external audits to ensure security, availability, privacy and integrity.
