A board portal is a board management software for streamlining corporate governance processes. This digital solution is designed with robust security features and user-friendly experience to enhance the effectiveness of meetings, collaboration and decision-making for boards, committees, and executive leadership teams. Today, boards can operate entirely paperless — and board management software, such as a board portal, has been established as a must-have for corporate governance.
A board portal is a board of directors software built for boards, committees, and executive leadership teams, and trusted by corporate secretaries and security professionals.
Board management software, like a board portal, is built to help you work more efficiently, productively, and strategically. A board portal helps with efficient meeting management, improved document management, easy collaboration, enhanced governance, and added security.
Store everything you need in one secure place and easily manage corporate governance activities. Plan meetings and build board books, easily access and manage meeting materials, reliably and effectively communicate updates, directly edit materials in their native formats, customize TeamSpaces and permission settings and so much more. Nasdaq Boardvantage was built with the corporate secretary in mind.
Stay ahead of and manage your tasks, communicate reliably with fellow directors and management, and drive strategic action before, during, and after meetings—inside or outside of the boardroom. All board members and executives need to be prepared for board meetings and ready to meaningfully contribute to conversations. Managing multiple logins and hopping between platforms takes up time that could be spent adding value to the business. With board software, board members and executives can collaborate through a centralized messaging system, and easily access information, in one place.
IT & Information Security teams are responsible for ensuring that all systems and information remain secure, especially for boards and executive teams. A board portal is a better way to maintain data security without inhibiting board communication and information sharing. With corporate information housed in a system with robust security features, a board portal is built with the priority of protecting your most sensitive information.
Distribution of meeting documents is automated. Relevant documents are presented in the context of the meeting agenda, and the current meeting is presented in a meeting timeline. Nasdaq' board portal software boosts the productivity that is often lacking in high-level meetings today.
Nasdaq's board of directors software offers tools purposely designed for approving initiatives, e-signing agreements, participating in meetings remotely, and for secure messaging and annotation sharing.
Nasdaq Boardvantage is hosted in a highly secure, hardened data center with no third party access. Our board portal software includes full strength encryption, multi-factor authentication and certificates. Customer content is segregated into individual repositories and encrypted with unique keys. Only the customers’ authorized users can access protected data, barring even Nasdaq system administrators from viewing content.
Yes, you can brand the application to include your logo and your organization’s colors.
Directors and senior managers are trained to use our board software in a 30-minute one-on-one session at a convenient time. For support, Nasdaq staff is available 24/7. Our support centers are located around the globe.
Four essential elements ensure an effective board meeting. Optimizing your board meeting agenda, perfecting your board meeting minutes, digitizing your board, and optimizing your board portal will help your board navigate key moments before, during, and after every meeting.
Board meeting agendas are dependent upon a variety of factors, including how often the board meets, how long the board meets, and how prepared board members typically are. However, four essential elements of a productive board meeting agenda are consistent for every organization: Executive Sessions, Chairman Sessions, Regular Sessions, and an Extended Agenda.
High-quality board meeting minutes are essential to meeting effectiveness – before and after the meeting. Recording board meeting minutes balances three considerations: accountability, information integrity, and confidentiality. Find the five best practices for recording board meeting minutes in Nasdaq's guide on The Art of Recording Board Meeting Minutes.
Relieved from many tedious administrative processes, a digitized board has more time and resources to focus on core fiduciary duties including financial oversight, strategic planning, and risk management. The paperless boardroom helps boards, committees, and leadership teams enhance meeting effectiveness by streamlining corporate governance administration, digitizing assessment and compliance processes, and powering strategic decision-making.
