Comparing software for board of directors is essential to selecting the most effective paperless solution for your business. Paperless boards provide a secure platform for online meeting collaboration and provide efficient workflow for both remote and on-premise meetings. In addition the solutions usually offer many other tools for collaboration such as video conferences, calendar management tools information silos and document management and storage software.
When looking at different options begin by collecting all relevant information regarding training options, security and governance functionality along with the amount of support provided and the amount of secure storage to establish which offer the best value for your needs. This will help you narrow the list of possible suppliers to look at for a price comparison.
Once you’ve gathered your requirements, ask the shortlisted portal providers for a detailed explanation of their pricing structure. This will allow you to compare apples-to-apples, taking into account the time frame of your usage and the number of users, and whether committees are able to share private documents. Consider other fees, such as the ones for ongoing training, reporting, and additional document storage.
Next, check out the level of customer service at each vendor and if they can meet the specific needs of your organization. This is particularly important for boards who are new to using online board portals and need to be confident about the support they’ll receive to ensure their success.
