Choosing Leading Board Portals

The questions that you ask prospective portal providers will have a significant effect on the efficiency, effectiveness and security of your board meetings. The right portal will give your administrator confidence, reduce the time required to gather materials and will provide simplicity of use and strongest security. It allows directors who are heavily involved to be fully involved in meetings, and will provide tools to ensure a smooth flow of business. This allows them to concentrate on the strategic direction and management.

Choose a vendor well-known in the market for offering robust and flexible features, a simple user interface, seamless integration with your existing systems and an efficient method of signing documents digitally. It is also important to look into the security certifications of the company (such as CMMI-SW, SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA) and third-party security audits that they have been able to pass.

It is also crucial that your portal integrates with the current email system of your organization, and also offers integration for document storage solutions. This allows your organization to communicate with its members through the channels that are familiar, instead of relying on email messages that could be monitored outside of company boundaries.

It is also important to determine whether the vendor provides responsive customer service that is available 24/7. Leading portal services have a dedicated customer support team who are available to assist you and your board members with any concerns. They are also happy to provide testimonials from other organizations that have used their service.
