12 Nov Choosing Leading Board Portals
The questions you ask prospective suppliers of board portals can have a profound impact on the effectiveness, efficiency and security of your meetings. The right portal can provide your administrator with the security they need, reduce the time required to compile material and provide the highest security. It allows directors with a high contribution to be fully engaged in meetings, while also providing tools to ensure a smooth flow between meetings that allow them to concentrate on governance and strategy.
Select a company that is recognized in the field for providing robust and expandable features, a sensible user interface, a simple integration with your existing systems, and an efficient way to sign documents digitally. It is also important to check the certifications of the company in security (such as SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA) and any audits by third-party auditors they have been through.
It is also important to ensure that your portal is a part of the current email system of your organization, and also offers integration for document storage solutions. This allows your organization to communicate with its members using regular channels instead of relying on email messages that could be monitored outside of company lines.
Ask if the vendor provides a responsive customer service available 24/7. Leading portal services offer an experienced support team that is able to assist you and your board members with any concerns. They are also happy to provide testimonials from other organizations who have benefited from their solution.
