When first using the system, it can take a little time to get used to it but this is something shared acorss the board, so not all members need to be as proficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The messy output of the board pack - too cluttered and no colour coordination. Also the fact that there is no available offline app version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BoardPro makes preparation of meeting agendas, packs and minutes so fast and easy. The product helps our chair and committee secretaries keep meetings focussed and on track, and assists with clarity around decisions made and the history of the board. Search functions are powerful and help us to maintain consistency in decision making over time.

BoardPro is being used by our board of directors for a small not-for-profit organisation. We have a very diverse board, across the age spectrum and all members utilise BoardPro and find it easy to navigate and use. We are able to access board papers ahead of meetings and follow the board pack during meetings.

It is being used by 3 Boards and 2 sub-committees across the group. The following functions offered by BoardPro are now considered fundamental to keeping on top of the group's busy meeting schedule and keeping Board members in touch and engaged between meetings: setting agendas, distributing Board packs, updating papers online, ability to annotate papers, writing well-structured minutes, distribution and approval of minutes, Flying Minutes for decisions between scheduled Board meetings, Interests Register, Decisions Register, ability to search previous meetings' documents, actions and action reminders, and more. All this is even more essential as we have moved to working online so much more during COVID-19.
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.

Doesn't let us use our own system for keeping minutes. Creates an agenda when I already have one.

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.

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.

Before we bought into BoardPro we had large monthly Board Books that not only consumed time and paper but were inflexible once published. The ease of creating, updating , and minuting meetings on-line is a liberation for the GM. Board Members no longer need to tote books around the country and refer to additional sheets of paper. They can annotate their meeting papers on screen and arrive at the meeting with everything they need and all actions completed thanks to the Action Items auto email reminders.

BoardPro has reduced the time it used to take for me to compile meeting agendas. I can build agendas through the month and load relevant papers as they come to hand. Access to documentation by Board members is much easier. The decision register is very useful as it is no longer kept in a separate database programme. Also the interest register is in the same programme as other board information.

It changed our meetings from piles of paper to the ability to efficiently collate papers for back ground reading so that when members arrived at the meeting we could get straight down to business. In terms of preparation I believe we have saved at least 2 days work a month on meeting management, and we can easily find our documents and the correct version no more losing the final version.

Sports Administration has many differing levels of technology ability. Having one system that is simple to use helps user focus on the important matters at hand not worry about how to write and distribute information to the relevant stakeholders. The support has been great when we need it and overall the experience with Board Pro has been very positive.

We would be significantly worse off without BoardPro. Our Board management would be cumbersome and inefficient. We cant afford that, however neither can we afford to be 'loose' in management of the Governance processes for the business. BoardPro gives us a cost-effective solution. It has bvecome an essential part nof our business operating system.

After years of struggling with minute takers, document control and administrative systems in various governance endeavours, I have now seen BP implemented in 4 organisations, all with great sighs of relief. One document source for master copies, one site for archiving papers and minutes and one system for minute taking. Controlled, secure, easy.
