Decisions offers a smooth integration with the Office 365 tools that you regularly use. All materials are kept securely within your organization's Office 365 framework, in line with established security measures. We emphasize customer privacy and do not keep any data.

You can easily generate a professional meeting agenda through Teams or Outlook. Attendees have the capability to upload files, suggest discussion points, ask questions, and give input. Moreover, you can invite external guests to participate as presenters, contributors, or attendees, with the option to assign them to particular topics or the entire meeting. The agenda, along with any attached documents, can be conveniently compiled into a single PDF for distribution to attendees. Additionally, merging the agenda into a Word or OneNote template can be done with a single click, which streamlines the process of recording meeting minutes. A visual tool aids in tracking agenda items according to their scheduled times, ensuring meetings stay on track. The Speak Now feature within Teams helps maintain an orderly list of speakers, allowing for interjections and break requests during discussions. This holistic approach significantly boosts collaboration and efficiency in your meeting workflows, leading to more productive outcomes. By using Decisions, you can transform the way your team interacts and communicates during meetings.

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.
