The board management portal
for running efficient meetings,
all from one place.

Board management portal software is purpose-built to make board meeting preparation efficient and secure both for board administrators and members of the board of directors.

Also, board materials are kept more secure including distributing board materials without the security risk of email.

Some are lite products limited in features, some are full-featured like Aprio, but all are a bit unique in how simple they are to use, their security and the service offered by the company. Key criteria to assess – Efficient board meeting management, convenient director access, data protection, ease of getting started or switching from another portal, reputation and service, affordability, best overall fit.
