Choosing a Board Portal
A board portal is a tool that allows for better governance, improves efficiency and productivity of meetings, and reduces time spent on administrative tasks like making, sharing, and distribution of documents. Companies can realize a significant return on their investment reducing the amount of paper used, printing costs and reducing the amount of time spent on labour.
The modern board portal provides an easy and secure alternative to traditional methods of dissemination of documents. For example corporate secretaries can design and distribute board documents by simply pressing a button. This allows for immediate updates and ensures that directors have access to the most current version of the board’s documents and materials.
A modern board management system can also be used on devices that directors own. This makes directors more easily accessible and convenient. Board members can access the portal using various devices, including tablets and desktop computers. They can also collaborate and take part in discussions with other directors and the board administrator if they are in a room together or from a different location in the world.
When selecting a board portal it is essential to select one that is intuitive for users and easy to master. The more intuitive an application is, the less the training directors and board administrators will require to master it. It is essential to schedule sessions for training that are suited to the technical capabilities of your board.
