A board portal is an online tool that allows you to manage and share documents related to the work of your board or committee. The tools allow online communication and collaboration between committee members and facilitate online collaboration.
There are a myriad of reasons behind the use of board portals, such as concerns about security issues with email attachments and the increased workload of governance specialists, and the desire to improve internal processes. The most common starting point is a recommendation from peers or industry insiders, a proposal by the secretary of the company or the chairperson of the board, an invitation from an existing board member who utilizes a board management software in a different position.
Boards of directors who have opted to use a portal for their meetings have reported significant improvements in the effectiveness and efficiency. More companies are increasing their use of this software as the number of users grows. It is crucial to choose the right board of directors portal service that can provide a high-quality service and an easy onboarding process. Begin the process of selecting a vendor by communicating to key stakeholders the benefits of board management software. Find and engage portal champions, ideally from the board itself to assist in launching the software and ensure success of the program’s implementation. This is particularly important for organizations with legacy systems that they plan to use in conjunction with the portal.
