BoardMaps vs. Board Papers

BoardMaps offers a cloud-based platform designed specifically for overseeing board meetings effectively. It enables corporations, government entities, and non-profit organizations to create agendas, identify issues, introduce discussion topics, and disseminate this information to various teams. By facilitating the assignment of action items to team members, BoardMaps enhances accountability within the organization. Among its standout features, BoardMaps supports managing approval workflows, provides role-specific permissions, and includes a member directory. Furthermore, it offers functionalities such as polling and voting, mobile access, and scheduling capabilities. Managers benefit from a centralized portal that allows for the organization and updating of meeting materials, fostering greater transparency among colleagues. In addition, BoardMaps streamlines the process of sending invitations and sharing action items with team members prior to meetings, ultimately boosting productivity and accelerating decision-making. Users have the flexibility to host meetings either in person or virtually through their mobile devices, ensuring convenience and adaptability for all participants.

Installed in a SharePoint site collection, the Board Papers board portal lets you quickly set up meetings and create agendas to organize your documents. Agendas and documents are then published to an intuitive book-like app on participants' iPads, laptops, and mobile devices for on and offline access. In the app, board members and meeting attendees mark up documents with pen and highlighter tools, add and share notes, and electronically sign pages. Votes are cast with a single click. Participants come to meetings prepared, and that means shorter, more effective meetings. Board Papers is used by large and small organizations in over 30 countries to deliver electronic board books and meeting packs for all types of meetings. Key benefits of Board Papers: - All of your documents are stored in your Microsoft 365 tenancy, making security and permissions seamless. - Affordable for any sized organization. - Simple book-like app, all tools are just a tap or click away. Directors don’t have to search for features. - Designed to be flexible and scalable. Used by small and large organizations alike. In 2008, Pervasent was founded to bring mobile apps to the enterprise. Over the next two years, Pervasent built some of the most popular and well-received apps for the iPhone and iPad. But from the start, our focus has been getting the information that business users need onto the devices they always have on hand. In 2011, Pervasent teamed with Standard Chartered Bank to develop a board portal that could meet the bank’s stringent requirements for security and ease of use. That June, Board Papers was used for the first time at a board meeting in Nairobi, Kenya. In early 2012, Board Papers was released to the market and showcased as a featured business app at Apple Store.
