Board Management Software
A top-quality tool for managing boards is not just for board members and administrators and board members, but it can also be utilized by subsidiaries, committees and other working groups within your organization to ensure that everyone’s time is spent effectively and that their work is safe. Nonprofits that want to maximize the value of their investment in this kind of technology should look for an organization that can provide training and support to make the transition as simple as it can be, even for those who aren’t familiar with electronic tools.
The best board portal systems are paper-free and provide the ability to digitally handle all meetings-related tasks, including scheduling, editing and distribution of agendas and documents, keeping minutes, keeping track of regulatory requirements (depending on your industry) and managing meetings. They also make it easy for your group to connect and communicate with one another in the most accessible as well as secure, flexible and efficient way across any device, even without wifi.
Preparing for Board meetings often involves the use of a large number of papers that are bound and printed that are cost-effective and is not good for the environment. Instead, the most effective board management software lets you share and annotate meeting materials online, which cuts down on printing and binders, and can be stored indefinitely for later reference.
The most effective software will have granular access controls and permissions to ensure that only the appropriate people have access to your information. This protects you from cyber threats which are increasingly affecting non-profit organizations including phishing attacks, or data breaches. They also offer two-factor authentication and remote wiping to quickly erase any data stored on devices that have been stolen or lost.
