Our Cat Herder vs. Board Papers

Do you sometimes feel like you’re trying to wrangle a bunch of cats when managing your board meetings? Our goal is to streamline your board management experience, making it more effective and user-friendly. With our Cat Herder board portal software, you can enjoy an economical solution that facilitates smooth communication among board members, document sharing, minute-taking, decision-making, and action tracking, among various other features. Our intuitive agenda builder and templates allow you to quickly compile detailed board packs for each meeting, which can be effortlessly distributed to participants with a simple click. During meetings, our in-meeting actions feature enables you to record actions, tasks, and to-dos efficiently. Additionally, board members can independently create their own actions and to-dos using our action capture tool, keeping everyone engaged and accountable. You can stay updated on the progress of these actions through comprehensive action notes. The importance of minutes in any meeting cannot be overstated, and our minute taker tool simplifies this process, making it easy to generate the final minutes document for quick approval. Ultimately, our platform not only boosts productivity but also nurtures improved collaboration among board members, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. By leveraging our software, you can transform the often chaotic nature of board management into a well-organized and harmonious 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.

Participants come to meetings prepared, and that means shorter, more effective meetings.

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.
