Choosing Leading Board Portals
The questions you ask prospective board portal suppliers will have a significant effect on the efficiency, effectiveness, and security of your meetings. The right portal will give your administrator the confidence they need, reduce the time needed to gather materials and offer the highest level of security. It allows directors who are heavily involved to be fully involved in meetings while providing tools to ensure smooth workflow. This lets them concentrate on the strategy and management.
Select a company that is recognized by the industry for offering robust and scalable features, a logical user interface, seamless integration with your existing systems, and an efficient method to sign documents digitally. Also, you should look into the company’s security certifications (such as CMMI-SW, SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA) and third-party security audits they have successfully passed.
It is also important that your portal is integrated with the email system that is already in place for your company, and has built-in integration with document storage solutions. This allows your organization to communicate more easily with its members, because they are able to use their familiar channels instead of email that could be monitored outside the company.
You should also find out whether the vendor has a responsive customer service that is available 24/7. Leading portal providers have a dedicated support staff that is available to help you and your board members with any concerns. They are also happy to provide testimonials and references from other organizations that have used their service.
