Board portals have become an essential tool for organisations that want to streamline their management processes as well as improve governance. This technology can cut down time that can help save money and time. Directors can prepare for meetings and perform their duties, from any device that has internet access.

The traditional method of managing board materials can be inefficient, cumbersome and time-consuming. Directors may be spending days reading, annotating and organizing physical copies of meeting materials. This can consume considerable time which could be better spent on important agenda items. The secretary of the board and individual directors are also charged with organizing and tracking all changes that occur between meetings.

Board portals help solve these issues with a host of convenient features designed to make meetings easier and more efficient. For instance, administrators can create board packs and distribute them via secure links. This eliminates the requirement for the secretary of the board and directors to print out materials for meetings and distribute the materials by hand. Additionally, any updates made prior to the next meeting can be quickly distributed to the rest of the board and directors, reducing the possibility that directors are working with outdated versions of documents.

It’s crucial that the portal for your board you select is compatible with all devices your directors use for their work. Choose a provider that has mobile apps and web portals that allow members to access the solution from any device without the requirement to download additional software. A user-friendly interface can also help ensure that board members get up to speed on using the software with little training.
