Board Management Software
A board management tool that is of a high standard is not only for administrators and board members. It can also be used by subsidiaries, committees, and other working groups within your organization. This will ensure that everyone’s work is protected and that their time is well-spent. Nonprofits who wish to maximize their investment in this technology should find a partner that can provide training and assistance, to make the transition as easy as it can be for people who aren’t used to electronic tools.
The best board portal systems are paper-free and provide an electronic solution for meetings-related tasks such as scheduling, editing and distribution of agendas and documents, keeping minutes, observing regulatory requirements (depending on your industry) and facilitating meetings. These systems let your group communicate and interact with each to each other in a manner that is easy to access, flexible and secure, even when you do not have wifi.
Preparing for Board meetings usually involves mountains of papers that are printed and bound which is expensive and is not good for the environment. Instead, the best board management software allows you to share and annotate your meeting materials online, which saves on printing and binders, and can be saved indefinitely for later reference.
The best software will have specific permissions and access control so that only the right people are able to access your content. This helps guard against the cyber threats that are detrimental to nonprofits, such as phishing attacks and data breaches. In addition, they have two-factor authentication and remote wipe to quickly remove all information stored on stolen or lost devices.
