Installed in a SharePoint site collection, the Board Papers board portal lets you quickly set up meetings and create agendas to organize your documents.

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.
