When using BoardPro, the first considerable advantage is the fact of having all the necessary and useful elements in one place. This particularity has improved and enhanced the ease of communication and integration of the multiple development teams for projects and events in the organization. In addition, the use in real time has favored the cooperation of the work in planning and execution of tasks, together with the differentiation of documentation, making it an excellent tool for classifying useful information for the different teams.

BoardPro is indispensable to me - at times it's the only thing holding everything together!

Board Secretary at Ember Korowai Takitini (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Agenda-setting and writing minutes is very easy with the built-in structure offered
  • Compiling and distributing Board packs with BoardPro takes a fraction of the time it used to - and updates to papers are so much easier
  • Ability to hold all governance documents in one central repository is useful for external Directors
  • Directors find the Board paper annotation feature very useful. New updates to this have made it an extremely powerful tool.
  • Flying Minutes feature is very useful for obtaining formal decisions between meetings and then automatically adding them to the next set of minutes.
  • The ability for Directors to update their own interests in the Interests Register is efficient and puts the responsibility on them to ensure this is up to date - this is automatically included in each Board pack.
  • The actions feature is fantastic - allocating a person responsible and an action deadline which then is followed up by BoardPro email reminders keeps people on tasks and allows the Chair to stay on top of actions as they are reported in the Board packs each meeting.

Cons

  • One feature which I believe is being worked on is the ability to allocate an action to more than one Board member, so everyone gets a reminder if it's a group action.
  • BoardPro are incredibly responsive to feedback and have continually enhanced their product over the years I've been using it and will no doubt continue to do so.

Most Important Features

  • Agendas and Board packs
  • Minutes
  • Actions and reminders

Return on Investment

  • As Board Secretary I do not have 'hard numbers' but certainly the organisations I support have received a much better service from me and more value for money as a result of the efficiencies that BoardPro offers.

Manage meetings (agenda and documents) with a unique board

Project Manager in Research & Development at Allianz SpA (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For our organization, I'm a Project Manager and there are a lot of projects that I have to manage, in different areas and with different team members. With BoardPro I use an unique platform to manage all the projects also when I have to communicate with people outside the company. BoardPro is like a control panel (a board) where you can show all the details for every project without waste time or searching mails and documents in outlook or in your local repository. You are sure that the document you are working on is the last version and, when there are corrections or integrations you know when they were done and who did them. Moreover, every document is linked with an event in the agenda, so it makes easy to share the documents with all the people who participated in a meeting. In my experience the more relevant benefits are: a cleaner way to manage projects; avoiding waste of time to search and re-create the meetings (and also the ideas, the notes and the decisions that were taken) and give to the team members a space in which they can collaborate as a team.

Pros

  • Different boards for every projects in an unique platform
  • A common space in which team members can participate in a project, using resources as documents and minutes and can annotate them in the personal local space
  • For every project there are the details of every single meeting; and for every meeting you can easily look all the notes and the minutes taken

Cons

  • development of an Android app (at the moment available only on the Apple store)
  • a section for the Q&A answer for users at the beginning level
  • upload also excel format documents

Most Important Features

  • a clean agenda for every meeting with minutes and documents linked on it
  • separated board for every project
  • sharing documents among team members, and the possibility to annotate/integrate them

Return on Investment

  • BoardPro reduces time dedicated to burocracy aspects
  • BoardPro increases teamwork
