Choosing Leading Board Portals
The questions you ask prospective board portal providers will have a significant impact on the efficiency, effectiveness, and security of your meetings. The right portal can give your administrator the peace of mind they need, reduce the time needed to create material and offer the highest level of security. Directors with high participation will be able to be fully engaged in meetings, while providing tools for a smooth flow between meetings, allowing them to concentrate on governance and strategy.
Choose a company that is well-known as a provider of strong and robust features that can be scaled. They should also offer a logical interface that is easy to integrate with existing systems, and offer a digital signature solution that’s efficient. It is also important to look into the company’s security certifications (such as CMMI-SW, SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA) and third-party security audits that they have completed.
In the end, it is crucial that your portal is linked to your existing email system and incorporates integration capabilities for document storage solutions. This makes it simple for your organization to communicate with its members via traditional channels instead of relying on emails that can be monitored outside of company boundaries.
Ask the vendor if they offer a responsive customer service available 24/7. Leading portal services offer a dedicated support staff who are available to assist you and your board members with any concerns. They also provide testimonials from other organizations who have benefited from their solution.
