MeetingSquared vs. Board Papers

Organizations often spend more than £15,000 on printed materials for board meetings, alongside losing over 43 hours each week in inefficient gatherings across different departments. Meetings are essential to any organization, and there are effective methods to improve their productivity. Implementing a meeting platform that integrates smoothly with Outlook and is accessible on mobile devices can greatly enhance the overall meeting experience. By embracing digital meeting management techniques, companies can increase efficiency and achieve superior meeting outcomes. This transformation can be fueled by utilizing the features of SharePoint or Office 365 in coordination with your Outlook calendar. MeetingSquared offers a captivating agenda that helps keep participants focused, along with digital actions and notes that encourage accountability and timely follow-ups. In addition, it works seamlessly with your current SharePoint environment, provides interactive agendas, incorporates voting features, and is readily available on mobile devices. Such tools not only simplify administrative tasks but also promote greater collaboration among team members, ultimately leading to a more cohesive work environment. By prioritizing these strategies, organizations can significantly enhance their meeting culture and drive continuous improvement.

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.
