Board portal software is a powerful tool to help companies improve their governance. Which vendor should you pick out of the numerous options? During demos with potential vendors, there are some key questions to ask that will help you choose the right software for your requirements.

How do members find it easy to use the platform? The experience of board members is crucial, whether it's through an easy interface or a complex app. Look for features that ensure that directors are able to navigate the system without requiring extensive training. Also, look at how easy it is to add directors, upload material and modify the license assignment for board admins.

Are there any features that will allow for effective data collection during meetings? Consider tools such as live chat, polling, Q&A, and proposal feeds that allow participants to share ideas and offer feedback in real-time. This will ensure that everyone is involved and the board is able to make informed choices during online meetings.

Is it easy to create and distribute meeting minutes? Find an option that allows you to create an agenda and then automatically generate a draft of the meeting's minutes. This will take away the burden of keeping track of multiple spreadsheets or word documents with detailed notes from each meeting.

Do you have any features that allow directors to continue working between meetings? Look for task managers with clear deadlines and responsibilities, to ensure that everyone isn't confused about who's accountable for what.
