Software for boards of directors can help companies plan the schedule, organize, and run meetings. It also aids with the storage and review of minutes of meetings as well as other documents and materials that result from the meeting. These tools can help make meetings more productive, by providing streamlined solutions for common challenges faced by directors.

Online board management is a key driver for many organizations looking to go paperless, as it provides both efficiency and security benefits. The main reasons are the time-consuming tasks of document preparation and distribution, as well as security risks and inefficiencies associated with emailing board documents, and utilizing free file-sharing websites like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Additionally, the ability to sign documents and messages electronically will eliminate the need to obtain physical signatures. This feature lets directors upload documents and request signatures from specific members and view their status on one dashboard. Finally, security features that are priority are offered with all the top portals for board members and protect data with the highest security levels.

Another key feature is the ability to organize and share materials with other directors prior to your next meeting. This feature allows you to easily locate and send meeting materials, notes from your colleagues, organizational rules or anything else needed for your next meeting. This central access reduces the time you or your assistant to the administrator go through documents and emails prior to your meetings.
