The selection and implementation of board software will be much easier if the board has some time learning what the software can do, and how it could affect their workflow. This will allow them to answer more informed questions when evaluating vendors and when comparing pricing models.
It is also beneficial to search for a company which offers a free trial to let the board get an idea of how well it will fit into their workflow and if they like the user experience. It’s also important to think about how much support and education the board will receive once they begin using the system.
Accessing a user-friendly secure, intuitive, and user-friendly board portal makes it much easier for directors to meet their governance responsibilities and take decisions during meetings. They can find all the information they require in one location, without having to look for it or go through multiple logins. They can also chat with one another during meetings with the confidence that their private conversations are safe from hackers as well as unauthorised users. A good board management system will be constructed with strong security and the latest advanced cyber protection and security, allowing boards to be confident that their data is in good hands. This is particularly crucial for non-profit organizations that are concerned about the protection of privacy of patients or sensitive data. In these instances the board needs to be vigilant about who has access to important documents and communications.
