PATENTEM vs. Board Papers

Holding in-person meetings during the quarantine has proven to be quite challenging. To address this issue, the online version of Patentem software was specifically designed to support virtual meetings. This tool enables collaborative agenda preparation and grants remote access to the agenda, while also allowing users to create private notes via mobile apps. The platform features an intuitive operator's interface capable of managing speaker lists and adjusting speaking durations. Moreover, it integrates a Digital Signature for secure authentication and result signing, along with functionalities for remote voting and video conferencing. By enhancing teamwork during the agenda development phase, the software also simplifies the management of related documents online. It further facilitates the creation and dissemination of meeting protocols under standard operating conditions. A particularly noteworthy aspect of the Patentem OnLine version is its ability to conduct meetings through video conferencing while enabling participants to securely cast their votes online using a digital signature, which ensures both reliability and safety in the authentication process. This cutting-edge solution not only simplifies the meeting experience but also makes it more efficient and accessible to all involved parties, thereby fostering greater engagement and collaboration among participants. Ultimately, the software represents a significant advancement in how meetings are conducted in a digital age.

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.

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.
