The system proactively tracks compliance requirements and sends alerts about potential issues ahead of time. Designed for compatibility across a variety of devices including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, it ensures accessibility for all users. With an affordable monthly pricing structure that has no setup or cancellation fees, it is accessible to organizations of all sizes. This all-encompassing solution not only streamlines board operations but also enhances governance efficiency, making it a valuable asset for any organization looking to optimize its board management process.

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.

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.
